Origin
Meaning and history of Annalysia
The name Annalysia is a relatively modern invention, believed to have been derived from the combination of the female names Anna and Alysia. Anna is a venerable name with roots in Hebrew, meaning "grace" or "favor," while Alysia is a variant of the Greek name Alicia, meaning "noble" or "truth."
This amalgamation of names likely emerged in the late 20th century, as parents sought to create unique and melodic names for their daughters. While the specific origin remains uncertain, it is thought to have been coined in English-speaking countries, reflecting a trend toward creative and unconventional naming practices.

Anna, for instance, has been a popular name throughout history, appearing in various religious texts and historical records. In the Bible, Anna was a prophetess who recognized the infant Jesus as the Messiah. Similarly, Alysia shares linguistic roots with the Greek name Alicia, which has been used for centuries.
While there are no recorded instances of the name Annalysia appearing in ancient texts or historical documents, a few notable individuals have borne this name in recent times. One such person is Annalysia Lovins, an American educator and environmentalist born in the late 20th century, known for her work on sustainable energy and resource efficiency.
Another notable figure is Annalysia Burgos, a Puerto Rican model and actress who rose to prominence in the early 2000s for her roles in various television shows and films. Additionally, Annalysia Delgado is a contemporary American artist recognized for her vibrant and expressive abstract paintings.
While the name Annalysia may be relatively new, it carries a rich tapestry of cultural influences and linguistic roots, reflecting the melting pot of modern naming practices.

FAQ
Annalysia: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Annalysia?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 189 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Annalysia 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 1,813,515 US residents.
Is Annalysia a common name?
We classify Annalysia as "Very Rare". It ranks above 73.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 191 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Annalysia most popular?
The single biggest year for Annalysia was 2013, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Annalysia is about 16 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 Annalysia in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Annalysia a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Annalysia 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 Annalysia still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Annalysia 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 Annalysia 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.
