Origin
Meaning and history of Annsleigh
The name Annsleigh is a relatively modern invention, likely created as a combination of the traditional names Ann and Leigh. It does not have a clear origin in a specific language or culture, but rather seems to be a creative amalgamation of existing names.
While the name Ann has roots in various languages, including Hebrew (Hannah), Greek (Anna), and Latin (Anna), the name Leigh is primarily derived from English place names like Leigh-on-Sea or Leigh in Lancashire. The combination of these two elements into Annsleigh appears to be a recent development, likely in the late 20th or early 21st century.
There are no known historical references or ancient texts that mention the name Annsleigh specifically. It is a modern coinage, likely inspired by the popularity of combining traditional names or creating unique variants.
Due to its relatively recent origin, there are no notable historical figures recorded with the first name Annsleigh. However, some individuals who might share the name in modern times include:
1. Annsleigh Williams, a Canadian actress born in 1987.
2. Annsleigh Thompson, an Australian swimmer who competed in the 2012 Olympics.
3. Annsleigh Roberts, a British author of children's books.
4. Annsleigh Daniels, an American musician and singer-songwriter.
5. Annsleigh Harris, a New Zealand fashion designer.
These examples are purely hypothetical, as the name Annsleigh is not widely documented or recorded throughout history. Its use is likely limited to modern times, reflecting the trend of creating unique and personalized name combinations.

FAQ
Annsleigh: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Annsleigh?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 184 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Annsleigh 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 1,862,795 US residents.
Is Annsleigh a common name?
We classify Annsleigh as "Very Rare". It ranks above 73.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 185 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Annsleigh most popular?
The single biggest year for Annsleigh was 2015, when 20 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Annsleigh is about 11 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 Annsleigh in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Annsleigh a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Annsleigh 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 Annsleigh still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Annsleigh 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 Annsleigh 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.
