<p>Anaïs is a feminine name of Provençal origin, derived from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' The distinctive dieresis over the 'i' creates its characteristic pronunciation (ah-nah-EES). The name gained international recognition through notable bearers like author Anaïs Nin. Popular in France and French-speaking regions for generations, it has seen increased usage in English-speaking countries since the 1990s, appealing to parents seeking an elegant name with European sophistication. Anaïs combines melodic beauty with literary associations, making it both cultured and accessible while remaining relatively distinctive in most Western countries.</p>
