I also doubt the
Anahita connection, to be honest.
The oldest person with the name I could find:
Anais von Brienne (
Anais de Brienne), born 1205:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anais_von_Brienne
She was the daughter of
Gauthier de Brienne. Brienne is located in
France. The wiki article is not available in English, but it is easy to translate it with an online tool.
There's also a bit of information about her here:

She had a daughter named Blanchefleur, another interesting name.
