Answer, response, or God has answered
Anayi is a rare name likely derived from the Hebrew name Anaiah, which appears in the Old Testament. It carries the spiritual meaning of 'Yahweh has answered' or 'response.' In modern usage, it is often chosen for its melodic, vowel-heavy sound and its connection to more common names like Anaya or Ana.
