Origin
Anaïs is a popular name in France. It has emerged since the mid-1980s and there are seven to ten times more women named Anaïs than Anne. It was the third most popular name for women in 1993, though the craze has since begun to die down, the name still remains fairly popular. There is no account of the name in France before the middle of the nineteenth century, when it is traceable in Provence and Catalonia. It is the diminutive form of Naïs, which was also used in a novel by Marcel Pagnol.
