Grace or favor
Anelie is a rare variant of the name Annelie, which itself is a Germanic diminutive of Anne or Anna. It ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning grace. It is often used in German-speaking and Scandinavian countries as a softer, more modern alternative to traditional compound names like Anne-Marie.
