Anaïs (given Name)
Anaïs, Anaís, or Anais () is a female given name. It is widely thought to be a French Provençal dialect, Provençal and Catalan language, Catalan version of Anna. Some suggest it is derived from Anahita, the name of the Religion in Iran, Persian goddess of fertility and healing. Since about 1980, the name Anaïs has been especially popular in France, perhaps due to the popularity of the Cacharel perfume "Anaïs Anaïs". There is no account of the name in France before the late eighteenth century, when it is traceable in Provence and Catalonia. The diminutive form ''Naïs'' was the title of Naïs (film), a film by Marcel Pagnol.
