Grace or favor
Anali is often considered a variant of the Spanish name Ana or the Hebrew name Hannah, both meaning grace. It may also be interpreted as a combination of Ana with the popular 'li' suffix, giving it a modern, melodic feel. In some contexts, it is associated with the Sanskrit word for fire, though its use in the US primarily follows the Latinate tradition.
