== Etymology of the name == The origin of the name Annappes is very turbid. Theodore Leuridan :fr:Théodore Leuridan, in a historical note on Annappes, considers several solutions asnapis formed of the radical goth ap, ahva = water (aqua in Latin) word meaning into Celtic "with a curve of rivière" contraction of "AD Menapios": Annappes was located at the end of the territory of Nerviens towards the country of Ménapiens. Dauzat and Rostaing, in the Etymological dictionary of the place names in France, think that the name comes from Germanic the hanap, hemp.
