Full Meaning of Aniysah

Aniysah is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “one who is friendly and gentle with others”, “one whose words are consoling”, “one whose presence brings calm and peace”. Aniysah is derived from the A-N-S (to recognize”, “to perceive”) root which is used in many places in the Quran.

And when Moses had completed the term and was traveling with his family, he perceived from the direction of the mount a fire. He said to his family, “Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I will bring you from there [some] information or burning wood from the fire that you may warm yourselves.” (Quran 28:29)
