Anoushka (given name)
Name list
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The names Anoushka, Anouska, Anuschka, Anushka and Annushka are diminutive forms of the female given name Anna, derived from the Russian diminutive Аннушка.[1] Anoushka (انوشکا) also means "grace" or "a favour" or "a flower" in Persian. It also occurs as a Hindi and Sinhalese name, sometimes popularly reanalysed as having a Sanskrit derivation, but may simply be influenced by the Russian name.[2] Notable people with the name include:
