Annie-Lee is in Origin.
Annie-Lee is a hyphenated feminine given name combining Annie, a diminutive of Anne/Anna from Hebrew Hannah meaning grace or favor, with Lee, from Old English leah meaning meadow or clearing. Together the elements suggest graceful meadow or favored clearing. Lee itself is unisex, while Annie-Lee is typically feminine.
Double names featuring Annie gained currency in the late 19th and early 20th centuries across English-speaking countries and remain especially familiar in the American South and parts of Britain and Ireland, where hyphens mark a single given name. Variants include Anna-Lee, Anne-Lee, Annie Leigh, Annie-Leigh, and the fused Annielee; related short forms are Annie and Lee, with initials AL as a playful nickname. Parallel forms appear as Ana-Li in Iberian-influenced contexts and Anni-Lee in Nordic spellings. The name blends vintage charm with a modern, compound-name style.
