Annushka

Annushka Origin and Meaning

The name Annushka is a girl's name.

Annushka is a diminutive form of Anna in Russian and other Slavic languages. This affectionate nickname adds the suffix "-ushka," creating a warm, endearing version of the classic name. Anna itself derives from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning "grace" or "favor." Annushka carries the same elegant meaning while adding a distinctly Eastern European flair. Though relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, the name has cultural significance in Russia and appears in classic Russian literature, including works by Tolstoy and Chekhov. Annushka conveys a sense of traditional femininity with a touch of exotic charm.
