What is the meaning of the name Annelise ?

The baby name Annelise is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈænəliːs/ (AN-uh-lees).

Annelise is German, Scandinavian in Origin.

Annelise is a Germanic and Scandinavian compound formed from Anne (a form of Anna < Hebrew Channah, “grace, favor”) and Lise (short for Elisabeth < Hebrew Elisheva, “my God is an oath”). As a blended devotional name, it carries the composite meaning “graced by God” or “God’s gracious promise.” The spelling occurs across German, Danish, Norwegian, and French usage, with related forms common throughout Central and Northern Europe. Documented in German parish records from the 18th–19th centuries, Annelise and its kin spread in Scandinavia in the 19th–20th centuries and later entered English-speaking fashion. The traditional German spelling is Anneliese; Dutch has Annelies; Nordic hyphenations include Anne-Lise and Ann-Lise. Anglicized variants Annalise and Annaliese, plus streamlined forms Analise and Annelisa, are also seen. In modern statistics, Annalise tends to outpace Annelise in the United States and other Anglophone countries.
