What is the meaning of the name Anh Dao ?

The baby name Anh Dao is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /aɲ ɗaːw/ (approx. "ahn-dow" or "ahn-dao").

Anh Dao is Vietnamese in Origin.

Anh Dao (Vietnamese: Anh Đào) is a Vietnamese feminine given name meaning “cherry” or “cherry blossom.” It comes from Sino-Vietnamese roots: anh (樱, “cherry tree”) + đào (桃, “peach”), with the compound anh đào denoting cherries and, in hoa anh đào, the celebrated spring cherry blossoms. The name evokes grace, renewal, and fleeting beauty. Approximate pronunciation: AHNH dow (falling tone on đào).

Widely used in modern Vietnam and across the diaspora (notably France, North America, and Australia), the name appears as Anh Đào (with diacritics), Anh Dao (ASCII), and sometimes hyphenated as Anh-Dao in Western documents. Short forms include Anh or Đào. Do not confuse with the distinct Ánh Đào (“radiant peach”), which changes the meaning. Semantic counterparts include Japanese Sakura, English Cherry, Welsh Ceri/Ceris, and the Chinese given name Yingtao.
