What is the meaning of the name Annes ?

Annes is English, French in Origin.

Annes is a rare medieval given name with two overlapping roots. In English and Welsh records from the 13th-16th centuries it appears as a vernacular form of Agnes, alongside spellings such as Annis and Annys; in that line it carries the Greek meaning "pure, chaste" (from hagnos). Through centuries of phonetic blending with Anne/Anna, it also became associated with the Hebrew Hannah/Channah, "grace, favor," so modern bearers may claim either sense.

In the Low Countries, particularly Friesland, Annes also functions as a masculine patronymic meaning "Anne's (son)," since Anne there is a traditional male name; this usage survives most clearly in surnames and occasional given names. Variants and cognates include Agnes, Ines/Inés, Annis, Annest (Welsh), Anne, Anna, Ann, and Hannah, with diminutives like Annie, Ness, and Nessa. Today Annes is uncommon, offering a historically grounded, cross-cultural choice with meanings that range from purity to grace.
