Anzelmah is Germanic in Origin.

Anzelmah is a modern, embellished spelling of Anzelma/Anselma, the feminine form of Anselm, from Old High German ans "deity, god" + helm "helmet, protection." Its meaning is often rendered as "divine protection" or "protected by the gods." While the masculine Anselm is famed through medieval scholars and saints - especially St. Anselm of Canterbury - the feminine appeared sporadically in German, Italian, and Spanish records, and in Slavic usage as Polish Anzelma.

Variants and related forms include Anselma, Anzelma, Anselm (m.), Anselme (Fr.), Anselmo (It./Sp.), and diminutives such as Anselmina; short forms Selma and Zelma also occur. The -ah ending in Anzelmah reflects contemporary stylistic trends, giving a rare, modern twist to a venerable Germanic root. Usage remains uncommon in the English-speaking world, appealing to parents seeking an old-world meaning with an updated, distinctive silhouette.
