Arabic term
Anissa Solano
anissa
Arabic to English
Tech/Engineering
I am trying to learn the origin of the word/name Anissa. I am not having much luck on the web. I have seen and heard very different explanations. One, that it is an Arabic word; two, that it is a German name. The reason for my curiosity is because it is my birth name. Any help with the meaning will be greatly appreciated. -Anissa

Sole companion
So far the answers are correct, but to be exact and precise, Anissa (aneessa) means the only companion in one's solitude. That is the one (female) with whom you break your loneliness or solitude. She is intimate, friendly and etc., yes but she especially has that distinctive feature of being the only company to dismiss loneliness while the rest of people and entities do not.

Might be Arabic equivalent of the honorific "Miss"
Greetings.
Without more context, that term might be the Arabic equivalent of
(1) the honorific form of address "Miss" (unmarried female)
or
(2) allusion/reference to the liquid "anise" (might be "anisthent" in English) used to sweeten the taste in some refreshment drinks. ("Anise" is the name of the son of a Lebanese friend.)

Miss, or...
If it is Aanisa, it's 'miss' or 'young lady'.
If it is Aneesa, it is the feminine gender for:
a) sociable, friendly, amiable, affable, gentle, etc.
b) (close, intimate, bosom) friend, companion, comrade.
c) tame(d), domestic(ated).
There's one other possibility: from (the now English words) anise or aniseed.
Either way, my dear, it's NICE.

This word in Arabic means: Sociable, companionable, friendly, amiable, affable, genial,
It is a great name in Arabic. The list doesn't fit in the answer box at the top.
To continue the list: debonair, kind, nice, gentle.
Other ways this name could be spelt are: Aneesa, Anisa. And the male equivalent would be Anees, or Anis.
Another derivative of the name could be translated as: close intimate, or bosom friend, companion, comrade, pal.
Hope that helps.
