Annelie

Annelie is a Germanic and Scandinavian compound name blending Anne, the Latinate form of the Hebrew Channah meaning grace or favor, with the diminutive suffix element lie, producing a familiar and affectionate form common in Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands. It functions as a shortened variant of the longer compound Anneliese, itself a fusion of Anne and Elisabeth, the Hebrew name meaning my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name gained popularity across northern Europe through the twentieth century as a standalone given name rather than merely a pet form. Related forms include Anneli, Anneliese, and Annelise.
