Origin
Meaning and history of Anglie
The name Anglie is a feminine given name of English origin, derived from the Old English word "Ænglisc," meaning "English" or "of the Angles." The Angles were a Germanic tribe that settled in what is now eastern and northern England during the 5th and 6th centuries. The name was initially used to refer to individuals of Angle descent or those associated with the Anglo-Saxon culture.
Anglie gained popularity in England during the Middle Ages, particularly among the nobility and upper classes. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of land ownership commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The name appears as "Anglie" in reference to a landowner or tenant.
In the 12th century, a prominent figure named Anglie de Gisors lived in Normandy, France. She was a noblewoman and the wife of William de Gisors, a Norman baron. Anglie de Gisors played a significant role in the administration of her husband's estates and was known for her involvement in religious affairs.
During the 13th century, Anglie of Brechin was a Scottish noblewoman and the wife of Sir David of Brechin, a prominent figure in the court of King Alexander III of Scotland. She was known for her charitable works and her support of religious institutions.
In the 15th century, Anglie de Montmorency was a French noblewoman and the wife of Jean de Montmorency, a prominent military leader and courtier. She was renowned for her literary patronage and her support of the arts and culture.
One of the most notable figures bearing the name Anglie was Anglie of Valois, a French princess who lived in the 16th century. She was the daughter of King Francis I of France and Queen Claude of France. Anglie was known for her involvement in political affairs and her influence in the French court during the reign of her brother, King Henry II.
While the name Anglie has maintained a presence throughout history, particularly in England and France, its usage has declined significantly in modern times. It remains a unique and distinctive name with a rich historical background and connections to the Anglo-Saxon and Norman heritage.

FAQ
Anglie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Anglie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 39 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Anglie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 8,788,573 US residents.
Is Anglie a common name?
We classify Anglie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 50.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 45 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Anglie most popular?
The single biggest year for Anglie was 1969, when 12 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Anglie is about 57 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Anglie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Anglie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Anglie in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Anglie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Anglie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Anglie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
