Anamim is a rare biblical name of Hebrew origin, from ‘Anamim (עֲנָמִים) in Genesis 10:13 and 1 Chronicles 1:11, denoting a people descended from Mizraim (Egypt). The -im ending is the regular Hebrew plural and, in the Table of Nations, often serves as an eponym for an ancestor-people. Most scholars view the term as an Egyptian or Libyan ethnonym borrowed into Hebrew; its exact etymology remains uncertain.

As a given name, Anamim has little premodern usage and is a modern revival choice in Jewish and Christian circles, sometimes selected for its obscure, antique aura. Meaning is best rendered as “the Anamim” or “Anamites,” rather than a specific lexical sense. Variant spellings and related forms include Anāmim, ’Anamim, Anam (a simplified, singularized form), and Anami. The name appears across genders in contemporary use, though it remains uncommon.
