Anyiello is Italian in Origin.

Anyiello is an Italian given name rooted in the Neapolitan form Aniello, itself derived from Italian Agnello, from Latin Agnellus (diminutive of agnus, “lamb”). The meaning is “little lamb,” a symbol of innocence and the Agnus Dei in Christian tradition. In Campanian speech, the Italian gn sound [ɲ] often yields a “niell” outcome, explaining the path from Agnello to Aniello and, in some diaspora records, to Anyiello.

Usage centers in Naples and southern Italy, strongly linked to Sant’Agnello (Sant’Aniello), a revered sixth–seventh-century abbot and protector of Naples, which sustained the name through the Middle Ages and into modern times. Variants and related forms include Aniello, Agnello, Anello, and the feminine Aniella/Agnella; nicknames Nello and Anie. The Anyiello spelling appears chiefly among Italian-American families as a phonetic Anglicization. While never widespread nationally, the name remains recognizable in Campania and among diaspora communities.
