Anel

Meaning of Anel

As a female given name, Anel is pronounced uh-NEL (/əˈnɛl/) and suggests a confluence of Semitic and Romance influences: the prefix “An-” echoes the Hebrew term for “grace,” while “-el” signifies “God,” together implying “divine grace,” and in Portuguese and Galician “anel” denotes a “ring.” In the United States, Anel has maintained a low-frequency niche since the early 1970s, with eight newborns receiving the name in 2024 (rank 942) and a historical high of 76 registrations in 1991. This consistent yet modest usage indicates a name that retains distinction without inviting broad ubiquity. Analytically, Anel projects quiet resilience and poised determination, making it a technically precise choice for parents seeking reserved elegance—and the advantage of not having to spell its pronunciation at every roll call.
