Anaïs

Anaïs is a feminine name that emphasizes the importance of friendship and kindness. A French diminutive of Anne or Agnes, Anaïs is a popular choice in several countries, including Belgium, Spain, and Switzerland. It may derive from Hanna, a Hebrew title meaning "favor" or "graciousness," so it's a lovely way to remind your little one to look out for others. Anaïs could also share Agne's definitions of "pure" or "chaste" from the Greek Hagne, fitting endearments for your wide-eyed and innocent new arrival. This heavenly name is also tied to Anahita, the Persian goddess of fertility and healing, whose name means "immaculate." Through thick and thin, your little Anaïs will approach life through a lens of reconciliation, compassion, and harmony.
