Anna-Mai is Scandinavian in Origin.
Anna-Mai combines Anna with Mai, a multifaceted element. Anna descends from Hebrew Channah via Greek and Latin Anna, meaning "grace" or "favor", and spread across Europe through the veneration of Saint Anne. Mai functions as the month-name May in Estonian, Scandinavian, and German usage; in Vietnamese it evokes the apricot blossom, a symbol of spring; in Japanese it often derives from kanji meaning "dance" or other virtues. Together, Anna-Mai suggests "grace of May", "graceful blossom", or "graceful dance".
Hyphenated double names like Anna-Mai gained currency in the 20th century, especially in Northern Europe, Germany, and the British Isles, pairing a timeless biblical classic with a fresh, seasonal second. Variants and related forms include Anna Mai, Annamai, Ann-Mai, Anne-Mai (Estonian), Anna-May, and Anna-Mae; nicknames span Anna, Anni/Annie, Nanna, Mai, May, and Mae. Usage remains uncommon but cross-cultural and easy to pronounce.
Anna-Mai is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 1 time, across 1 country.
