Anisa is from the Arabic أنيسة (Anīsah — friendly, intimate, sociable companion) — from Arabic uns (companionship/intimacy). Anisa is one of the Arabic feminine names — central to traditional Muslim heritage. Arabic feminine name reflecting Arabic Sufi heritage.
Anisa does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Anisa reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
