Anfernee is a unique, three-syllable given name of African origin. It means 'bringer of peace' and was likely inspired by the popular Yoruba name Anifere, which translates to 'the crown that brings peace'. The name Anfernee gained prominence in the United States during the late 20th century, particularly due to NBA player Anfernee 'Penny' Hardaway. Its uncommon usage contributes to its distinctive and memorable character.
