ArchivesRe: Anaïs
in reply to a message by Amandine
I looked for Anaïs on the French Wikipedia. I copied and translated the text into English in Google Translate and found this:
"Anaïs is a feminine first name which has an uncertain origin, in fact, some claim that it is a Provençal (Occitan) and Catalan derivation of the first name Anne coming from the Hebrew Hannah, which means "grace" and "gracious ", as Anaïck is the Breton form, while others believe that it would be a derivation of the first name Anahita which is the Iranian and Persian goddess of love as well as the first name Anahit which is the Armenian goddess of birth and of beauty."
This could be where the alleged Anahita etymology could come from.
