Annaliese

“Possibly grace and God's oath”

Annaliese is a German double first name combining Anna and Liese, a short form of Elisabeth. Anna derives from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning 'favour, grace'. Liese comes from Elisabeth, whose Hebrew root is disputed: possibly 'my God is abundance' or 'my God has sworn'.
