Anahide

Anahide is a feminine given name of Armenian origin. It is a variant of Anahit (also spelled Anahid), the name of a prominent goddess in ancient Armenian mythology.

The form Anahide, along with Anahit and Anahid, is used among Armenians in Armenia and throughout the Armenian diaspora. Spelling and transliteration vary, reflecting differences in Armenian alphabets and in transliteration into Latin script.

The name is commonly found in Armenian communities in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and beyond, reflecting the broad geographic distribution of Armenian populations.

In modern times, Anahide appears in Armenian literature and media as a given name, and it is used in naming children to reflect cultural heritage.
