About Annah
Annah is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Anna or Ana. It has Hebrew origins from the name Hannah, meaning "grace" or "favor." The additional 'h' at the end gives the traditional name a slightly distinctive appearance while maintaining its classic pronunciation. Annah appears in the Bible as a prophetess mentioned in the New Testament. While less common than Anna, this spelling variation has seen periodic usage throughout history. The name carries the same timeless elegance of Anna but with a subtle uniqueness. Its biblical connections give it spiritual significance for some families, while its simplicity and melodic quality make it broadly appealing. Annah balances traditional roots with a mildly uncommon spelling, offering a slight twist on a classic name.
Pronounced AN-uh.
As of October 2026, Annah ranked #6865 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1290 in 1888.
