About the name Anneliese
Anneliese belongs to the Scandinavian tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Anneliese first appears in Social Security records in 1926. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #914 in 2005, and in 2024 158 babies received the name — 5,755 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
