Anaiah 
The name Anaiah occurs twice in the Bible, both times in the book of Nehemiah, and so these two Anaiah's may very well be the same one. He's mentioned first among the seven chief explainers who assisted Ezra the reformer in conveying the Law to the people (8:4). Anaiah is also listed among the signers of the new covenant (10:22).
The name Anaiah consists of two elements:
See the name Anah for a closer look at this verb and even some verbs that are spelled exactly the same but carry different meanings.
2) The name  , Jah, which in turn is an abbreviated form of the Tetragrammaton  , YHWH, or Yahweh.
For a meaning of the name Anaiah, NOBS Study Bible Name List reads Yahweh Has Answered. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names has Answer Of The Lord.
BDB Theological Dictionary does not translate.
