US Popularity Rank: 11484

Origin: American

Meaning: Favor; Grace; Bitter; Beloved; Spring

Annamae is an American girl's name of Hebrew and English origin, meaning "favor” or “grace.” Annamae is a variant of the name Annemae, which is a combination of Anne, meaning “grace,” and Mae, meaning “beloved” or “bitter,” from Mary. It could also reference the month of May and the Roman goddess Maia, in all their springtime glory. Whichever of these three elegant meanings takes your fancy, Annamae is sure to be favored in your family. The name was most popular around the 1920s, livening it up with a Gatsby-esque flair to it today. A trend of classic names from times gone by is bringing a range of names like this to the charts today, and this youthfully feminine title is on the rise again.
