Anais is an unusual, exotic name forever attached to the daring French-born American novelist and diarist Anais Nin (born Angela, with middle name Anais), who was the inspiration for the naming of the daughter of musician Noel Gallagher. It is also familiar as the name of a popular perfume.

Anais has some interesting literary references as a character in the Balzac novel Lost Illusions and in Colette's Claudine books.
