Enough, sufficient, or the last born
Derived from the Zulu word 'anele', this name is traditionally given to a child when the parents feel their family is complete or 'enough'. It is a popular unisex name in South Africa, particularly among the Zulu and Xhosa speaking populations. In a Western context, it is often perceived as a unique and melodic choice for girls.
