If you are looking for a strong and significant name for your son, Annas is a standout choice. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Group of people', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Annas has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Annas comes from "an-nas," the Arabic word for "mankind" or "the people." "An-Nas" is the title of Surah 114, the final surah of the Quran.

Reference Profile

Etymology

Related to the Arabic الناس (an-nas), 'the people' - also the title of Surah 114, the Quran's final chapter.

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.
