The surname Anleu originates from France, with earliest records dating back to the 12th century. It is derived from the Old French words "an" meaning "the" and "leu" meaning "place", suggesting it was initially a locational name referring to someone who lived near a specific landmark or settlement.

Some of the earliest references to the name Anleu can be found in medieval French records and manuscripts, such as the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Père de Chartres from the 13th century, which mentions an individual named Raoul de Anleu.

The name appears to have been particularly prevalent in the regions of Normandy and Picardy, with variations in spelling including Anleux, Anlieu, and Anlieu. It is believed that the name may have originated from a specific place name, potentially a village or hamlet, although the exact location has been lost to history.

Notable individuals with the surname Anleu include Jean Anleu, a French soldier who fought in the Hundred Years' War, born around 1390. Another significant figure was Pierre Anleu, a merchant and landowner from Rouen in the late 15th century, who was involved in trade with England and the Netherlands.

In the 16th century, records show a branch of the Anleu family settling in the Champagne region, where they became prominent winemakers. One notable member of this branch was Jacques Anleu, who was born in 1543 and served as the mayor of Reims from 1598 to 1602.

As the name spread throughout France, it also found its way into other European countries, particularly Belgium and Switzerland, where variations such as Anleuw and Anleux were used. One notable Swiss figure was Henri Anleuw, a renowned clockmaker from Geneva, who lived from 1680 to 1748.
