Anzi is a cross‑cultural given name with several independent roots. In Chinese, it can be formed from the characters 安 (ān, “peace; safety”) + 子 (zǐ, “child; person; master”), yielding senses such as “peaceful child” or “the serene one.” The element zǐ has a long history in Chinese names and honorifics, which lends the combination a classical, thoughtful tone.

In Italy, Anzi is a surname turned first name, taken from the town of Anzi in Basilicata; as a given name it carries the place‑name’s identity rather than a lexical meaning.
