Anaid
A girl's name with 509 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Among U.S. girl's names, Anaid currently holds position #8963. It is known but far from saturated — a name that registers without repeating.
Appearing in records from 1989 to 2024, Anaid has a solid multi-decade track record without being a permanent fixture — it belongs to a specific chapter of American naming.
In the most recent SSA release, Anaid ranks #8963 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Anaid is a girl's baby name of Armenian origin, the Armenian form of Anahit — the ancient Armenian goddess of wisdom, water, and the moon — meaning 'pure, immaculate.' Anahit was one of the most venerated goddesses of ancient Armenia; as a given name, Anaid carries this extraordinary heritage in a compact, modern form.
EtymologyShow more
Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Anaid does not map cleanly to a single linguistic tradition in our records, which often indicates a name that has crossed cultural boundaries, been adapted between languages, or emerged from the blending that defines American naming.
Anaid’s 509 recorded births suggest it has found a niche — possibly within a specific cultural community, region, or naming subculture within the broader American landscape.
