About Anayah
A rising star in the US, Anayah entered the Top 1000 in 2025 when it rose nearly 150 places up the charts. A truly international choice with a variation of possible origins, it may derive from the Arabic Inaya, meaning "care, concern", the Basque Anaia, meaning "the end", and the Hebrew Anaiah meaning "Yahweh has answered".
Familiar in England and Wales where it ranked in the Top 400 in a recent year, it also made its debut into the French charts in 2024, feeling in tune with the likes of Aaliyah, Alaya, and Amaya.
Pronounced uh-NAH-yuh.
As of October 2026, Anayah ranked #913 in US births in 2025 SSA.
