Annamae is English in Origin.

Annamae is an English compound given name formed from Anna and Mae. Anna descends from Hebrew Hannah (“grace, favor”), passing through Greek and Latin into widespread European use. Mae is a late 19th‑century spelling of May - either the spring month name derived from Maia, the Roman goddess of growth, or a traditional diminutive of Mary or Margaret in English. Together, Annamae suggests “grace” paired with springlike vitality or maternal protection.

Double‑barreled feminine names combining Anna with a brief second element flourished in the United States from the late 1800s through the mid‑20th century, and Annamae appears in records of that era before becoming uncommon. Renewed interest in vintage choices has prompted a modest revival. Variants include Anna Mae, Anna-Mae, Annamay, and Annemay; related compounds include Annamarie. Short forms and pet names are Anna, Annie, and Mae. Spelling and spacing preferences (solid, hyphenated, or split) often reflect regional and family traditions.
