Anise is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Anise in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Anise in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Anise by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Anise ranks at #8,810. That means there are 8,809 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Anise.
If your name is Anise your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Anise never ranked higher than position 1,227 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Anise. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1901 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Anise because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Anise was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Anise still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Anise who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
The first name Anise is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 51 Americans in total bear this name. And these 51 women are located in only four states: California, Louisiana, Michigan and New York (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Anise and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Anise in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 438,615 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Anise.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With five letters, the name Anise is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.
If your name is Anise and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Anise, you can simply say:
Apple
Nut
Igloo
Sun
Elephant
