Anis was a personal name found among the Illyrians of southern Panonia and much of northern Dalmatia (corresponding roughly with modern Bosnia and Herzegovina). A more frequently occurring variant is Andes. Due to this particular geographic distribution, the origin and the meaning of the name (Andis, Andes) may be connected to the name origin of Andizetes, a small Illyrian tribe whose home was precisely present day Bosnia and Herzegovina.
