Carri-Anne is English in Origin.

Carri-Anne is a modern hyphenated feminine given name combining Carri and Anne. Carri is a spelling variant of Carrie, itself a pet form of Caroline/Carol, ultimately from the Germanic Karl/Charles meaning "free man" or "free person." Anne derives from Hebrew Hannah, "grace, favor." Together the compound is often read as "graceful free one" or "favored free person," a blend of strength and gentleness.

Double-barrelled given names have circulated in English since the 19th century and enjoyed particular visibility in the later 20th century; Carrie peaked earlier, while Carrie-Anne-type forms rose mid-century, helped by pop culture touchstones such as the Hollies' 1967 song "Carrie Anne" and actress Carrie-Anne Moss. Variants include Carrie-Anne, Cari-Anne, Carrianne, Carianne, Carrie Anne, and Carrieann; related but etymologically distinct is the Norwegian Kari-Anne. The Carri- spelling reflects contemporary preference for streamlined or individualized orthography and remains most common in the UK, Canada, and the US.
