Annaduff is Irish in Origin.
Annaduff is an Irish toponymic given name drawn from the County Leitrim parish of the same name. Its Irish form Eanach Dubh combines eanach "marsh, bog" with dubh "black, dark," yielding the meaning "black marsh" or "dark bog." The place appears in medieval records and church dedications, and the anglicized spelling Annaduff has been stable since early modern maps. As a personal name it is rare and contemporary, adopted on the pattern of Irish place-names (e.g., Shannon, Tara) used as given names in Ireland and the diaspora.
Variants and related forms include the Gaelic Eanach Dubh and the parallel anglicization Annadough (found elsewhere in Ireland from the same root). Short forms sometimes reduce to Duff, echoing the Gaelic element dubh. Annaduff is generally treated as unisex in modern usage. The name evokes Ireland's landscape and carries a quiet, moody nature meaning, appealing to families seeking a distinctive, place-linked heritage choice.
