ArchivesI wouldn't trust Parenthood.com (m)
in reply to a message by Isla
Or any site about names that focuses on "baby names". They're almost always very inaccurate. Three examples on Parenthood.com, showing its inaccuracy:
1. Caroline:
Parenthood.com: "Little, womanly" in Latin.
Real meaning: French feminine form of Carolus, the Latin version of Charles, which means "man" in Germanic.
2. Charlotte:
Parenthood.com: "Petite and feminine" in French
Real meaning: French feminine diminutive of Charles.
3. Mackenzie:
Parenthood.com: "Child of the wise leader" in Celtic.
Real meaning: Anglicised form of the Gaelic surname Mac Coinnich, which means "son of Coinneach". Coinneach means "handsome" in Irish.
To get back on topic, I'd bet that Aneesa was either entirely made up, or a variant of Anisa, Annis, Anise, or even Anaïs (Anais) or Anish (which could be feminised into Anisha, conceivably).
