Annali is in Origin.

Annali is a modern feminine given name formed from Anna plus the diminutive suffix -li, seen in Afrikaans and Northern European naming. Anna ultimately comes from Hebrew Channah, meaning “grace” or “favor,” filtered through Greek and Latin into many European languages. As a standalone, -li diminutives like Anneli/Annelie became established in the early–mid 20th century, especially in Finland, Sweden, and Estonia; in South Africa and English-speaking countries, the spelling Annali/Annalie gained use more recently.

Its core meaning remains “grace,” with the affectionate nuance “little Anna.” Variants and relatives include Anneli (Finnish/Swedish/Estonian), Annelie (German/Scandinavian), Annalie/Annalie/Annalee or Anna-Lee (English), and Anali in Latin America; cognate compounds such as Annalisa/Annalise (“Anna + Lisa/Elisabeth”) are also connected. Some English bearers interpret Annali as a phonetic cousin of Annalee (“grace” + “clearing”), but the -li ending is typically diminutive rather than the element “Lee.”
