Anelah is in Origin.

Anelah is a modern, rare feminine given name most plausibly built on Anela, a form found in Hawaiian and South Slavic contexts. In Hawaiian, ʻĀnela (often written Anela in English) is a borrowing of “angel,” ultimately from Greek angelos, “messenger,” via Latin and English; it became current with 19th-century Christian influence in the Islands. In Dalmatia and parts of Croatia, Anela functions as a regional variant of Angela with the same meaning. The final -h in Anelah reads as an ornamental respelling in English or a blend echoing Ana + Leah.

Usage of Anelah is largely contemporary and uncommon, appearing in recent Anglophone birth records as a creative update to established angel-names. Close variants and relatives include Anela, ʻĀnela, Anella, Angela, Angella, and Angelina; short forms such as Nela, Ana, and Angie are natural nicknames. Core meaning: “angel; messenger.”
