Annais is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Annais in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Annais in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Annais by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Annais ranks at #7,869. That means there are 7,868 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 Annais.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Annais. Girls named Annais have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 5,643 Annais ranked higher than ever before in 1984. By comparison, there have been 105 years in which the first name Annais has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 1987. In general, parents name their daughters Annais only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Annais was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Annais continues to be a precious jewel: 8 newborns were named Annais that year, ranking #9,733 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Annais, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Annais, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California and New York. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Annais living in one state or another (if your name is Annais and you live outside of California and New York, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 514,238 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Annais. So, if your name is Annais it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Annais already makes you special.
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 six letters, the name Annais is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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 Annais 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...
