Annesleigh Origin and Meaning

The name Annesleigh is a girl's name.

Annesleigh is a feminine name that combines the classic 'Anne' with the suffix 'leigh,' creating an elaborate and sophisticated variation. The name Anne has Hebrew origins meaning 'grace' or 'favor,' while the 'leigh' ending (a variant of 'lee' or 'lea') refers to a meadow or clearing. This elaboration transforms the simple classic into something more distinctive and modern. Annesleigh appeals to parents who appreciate traditional names but want something more unique for their daughters. Though uncommon, it fits with the trend of extending classic names with decorative suffixes. The name maintains ties to the beloved Anne while offering a more ornate and contemporary sound.
