About the name
Anahí is Guaraní, and belongs to a legend told in Argentina and Paraguay: a woman burned at the stake by Spanish soldiers becomes the ceibo tree, whose flower is the deep red that the national flower of Argentina still is.
The story is post-conquest by definition, which makes the name a record of the colonial encounter rather than something that predates it — and Guaraní is one of the few Indigenous American languages that is an official national language, so the telling is in the language it happened in.
