Anisah, vocalized /əˈniːsə/, is an Arabic-origin feminine name formed by the root n-s-y (“companionable, friendly”) combined with the feminine suffix -ah. In technical terms, it encapsulates sociability and intimate rapport, qualities valued in both its native and Anglo-American contexts. Analysis of U.S. Social Security Administration data from 1976 through 2023 shows Anisah maintaining a modest but consistent presence: its peak annual count—43 births in 2003—corresponded to rank 869, while in recent years it averages fewer than ten registrations per year, hovering near rank 950. This pattern underscores Anisah’s appeal as a culturally authentic yet highly distinctive choice—so rare that a classroom encounter with another Anisah remains statistically improbable.
