Annise is a feminine name that embodies fragrance and purity. This lyrical title shares roots with anise, the name given to a Mediterranean spice plant. Considered a form of the Greek Agnes, Annise adopts the meanings “pure” and “holy.” As a Hebrew name, Annise is thought to derive from Anne, meaning “God has favored me.” Despite its separate origins, Annise is ultimately a name of virtue and faith—ideal for the little cherub coming to spice things up.
