The name "Annerish" is derived simply from a combination of the endonym ''[[Contionary:Annr#Anrish|Annr]]'', whose origin is disputed, + -ish in English. Similarly, the native term for "the Anneries" - ''ın Annray'' derives from a compound with Old Norse [[:wikt:ey#Old_Norse|ey]], translating to "the Annerish islands".<br>

A leading native theory connects the ethnonym with a goddess mentioned as the matron of the [[w:Iceni|Eıchenna]], whose queen was [[w:Boudica|Bóıdech]], in the "Gospel of Evynn" (''Lebor Ebuınne'') [[w:Andarta|Annarth]]. Still, many scholars consider the text itself failing to point out a connection as deffinitive proof against this theory. Instead, the native theonym ''{{cd|Aınnr}}'' is regarded as the true origin of ''Annr''.<br> Bernthaler (1907), the main foreign resource on the Annerish, supports both propositions and argues that the dental ending in the dative (''Aınnrte'') must trace back to the former theonym, but the root itself is one and the same as  [[:wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Celtic/anderā|*anderā]].
