Is Annita a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Annita has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 84 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Annita: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Annita, and how old are they?
An estimated 973 Americans named Annita and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (71% of everyone recorded); the median is 64 years old and half are between 53 and 74. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,385 people named Annita (1,378 women and girls, 7 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,074 born in the U.S. The Census count is 29% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
How common is the spelling Annita?
Annita is a less common spelling of Anita: SSA has recorded 1,376 Annita and 215,849 Anita since 1880.

Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
