Anouska

Anouska is a Dutch and English pet form of Anouk, itself a French diminutive of Anne, which derives from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning grace or favor. The layered diminutive suffixing reflects the affectionate nickname traditions common in both French and Dutch naming culture. The name gained wider international recognition partly through the British actress and model Anouska Hempel. Related forms include Anouk, Anoushka, Anna, and Hannah.
