Notoriety in an Anarchy system

You don't lose your notoriety when you go to an anarchy, they just don't care about it. You'll still be notorious when you leave.
If you're asking how you gained notoriety, it's possible that you were at a settlement owned by a non-anarchy faction. Lawful settlements will still issue bounties and notoriety if you shoot them up regardless of who controls the system.
Likewise, anarchy settlements are lawless even if the system controller is lawful. Local jurisdiction overrides the system jurisdiction.

So a settlement in an Anarchy system that is not an anarchy faction can cause you to gain notoriety? Wow....that defies logic. But thanks for the info.
It makes sense, you're in their settlement so their law applies even if the rest of the system outside their borders is a hive of villainy.
Likewise, if you're in a system controlled by the Democrats of Omicron Perseii 8, and you go to a settlement controlled by the Holy Cult of Lurr and shoot someone, it's the cult that will issue the bounty against you and as soon as you leave the settlement, the Democrats won't give two hoots about your bounty with the cult. Not their bounty, not their problem.
This does of course mean that if you run into a faction you don't particularly like, and they don't have any ports you particularly need to dock at, you don't really need to care about getting a bounty.
Which makes the murder hobo lifestyle viable. Once your bounties start becoming a problem, just jump to somewhere else where that pesky faction that wants you isn't present, and you can go back to murdering. If the notoriety ever goes to zero, then you can visit an International Factor and just pay them off. If you're confined to a few systems being a BGS slave, then maybe avoid getting notoriety and becoming hostile with the local factions. Or if anyone is bothered by the notoriety, then maybe only kill unwanted ship in an anarchy system, or assault anarchy settlements wherever you find them.
it is much easier. Go where you are wanted, apologize profusely (i.e. hand yourself in), go to prison, pay your bounty, you're clean. The only thing notoriety prevents your from at that point is paying fines.
Also: It is called "notoriety" for a reason. Even criminals can fear another criminal if they have killed enough people.
