Annielee is a unique and charming name of American origin, derived from the combination of Anne and Lee. It's composed of two distinct elements that hold their own significance. The first part, Anne, originates from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning "grace" or "favor." The second part, Lee, is of English descent and means "from the clearing in the woods."
The name Annielee offers a delightful blend of classic and modern styles. It's not as common as other names derived from Anne, such as Anna or Annette, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking something special yet familiar.
Historically, the name hasn't been widely recorded, allowing those who bear it to forge their own path without the burden of expectations carried by more traditional names. This uniqueness can make Annielee stand out in crowds and create an intriguing first impression.
Annielee experienced a significant rise in popularity between 1913 and 1914 with an increase from 7 to 10 births annually. However, the name's popularity fluctuated thereafter, with no consistent trend until it began declining after 1925. Overall, Annielee was given to 71 newborns over these years.
