Meaning and background

The story behind Annabeth

Annabeth combines Anna and Beth. The second element is recorded as a short form of Elizabeth, or sometimes Bethany, so a family’s intended connection can matter when interpreting the compound. The specialist Annabeth entry gives an English reading ending in the th sound of Beth. For a dog, preserving that ending distinguishes the name from Annabel and Annabelle. It can honour two family names together without requiring the combination to have an ancient one-word translation.

Origin
Combination of Anna and Beth; Beth may shorten Elizabeth or Bethany. Source · Source 2
