Anisah

US Popularity Rank: 25349

Origin: Sanskrit

Meaning: Pleasant companion; Close, friendly

Anisah is a girl's name meaning "pleasant companion," "close," or "friendly" in Arabic. Related to the more popular form Anisa, this name is sure to reflect baby’s ability to make new friends. From day one, little Anisah will take their best friend status to the next level, from playing peacemaker on the playground to sharing their treats at snack time. On the other hand, if baby has Sanskrit origins, prepare to embrace their independent side due to its meaning of "one with no master."
