Annamay is English in Origin.
Annamay is an English compound given name formed by joining Anna with May/Mae. Anna descends from Hebrew Channah, “grace, favor,” via Greek and Latin into countless European languages. May is an English month name (from Latin Maius, honoring the Roman goddess Maia) and also a long-standing pet form of Mary (Hebrew Miryam, often interpreted as “beloved” or “wished-for child”) and, less commonly, Margaret (“pearl”). Together, Annamay can suggest “grace in May,” “grace and beloved,” or “grace and pearl.”
The name arose with the late-Victorian and early-20th-century fashion for double girls’ names in the Anglophone world, appearing in U.S. and U.K. records and occasionally elsewhere. Spellings and layouts vary: Annamae, Anna Mae, Anna-May, and the rarer Anamay or Annemay. Though uncommon today, Annamay feels warmly vintage and is aligned with the modern revival of compound names. Nicknames include Anna, Annie, Anya, May/Mae, and Amy.
