Annelise is a German language and Danish first name. The traditional German spelling is Anneliese.
In World War II, German vehicle crews used to give nicknames to their self-propelled artillery, airplanes, tanks and tank destroyers. Annelise was a very common name for an ssIG 33 II (a self-propelled artillery gun, only 40 were produced).[citation needed]
This was also the proper name of Anne Frank.
This name is often paired with the name Lloyd. These two names compliment each other very well. There was once a tale told of Queen Annelise (also meaning German Sweetheart) courting King Lloyd to the Royal German Ball.
