Anchaly is a Thai feminine given name derived from อัญชลี (Anchali/Anchalee), ultimately tracing to Sanskrit and Pali añjali, the gesture of joining the hands in reverence. It conveys meanings such as “salutation,” “homage,” and “offering with cupped hands,” and is closely associated with the Thai wai greeting and ideas of respect and devotion.

Adopted into Thai personal naming through Buddhist liturgical vocabulary, the name gained steady use in the twentieth century and remains recognizable across Thailand and the Thai diaspora. Spelling varies with romanization: Anchali (RTGS), Anchalee (popular modern form), and the less common Anchaly; the Indic cognate Anjali is related but reflects South Asian phonology.
