Anouschka

Anouschka is a Dutch elaborated form of Anouk, itself a French and Dutch diminutive of Anna, which derives from the Hebrew name Channah meaning grace or favor. The spelling with the Germanic -schka suffix reflects influence from Slavic diminutive forms, particularly Russian Anushka, giving the name an exotic, cross-cultural feel within Dutch usage. Related forms include Anouk, Anna, Anoushka, and Anushka.
