Anouska

Anouska is a Dutch diminutive form of Anna, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Channah, meaning grace or favor. The name traveled through Russian and Slavic naming traditions, where diminutive forms such as Annushka were common, before being adopted into Dutch use with this distinctive spelling. Anouska remains relatively rare in the Netherlands and internationally. Closely related forms include Anoushka, Annushka, and the foundational Anna.
