Anakku is Indonesian, Malay in Origin.

Anakku is rooted in Indonesian and Malay, from anak “child” plus the enclitic possessive -ku “my,” literally “my child.” Used for generations as a tender mode of address in families, lullabies, and letters, it conveys affection and protection. As a given name, Anakku is rare but increasingly encountered in Indonesia and the diaspora, valued for its clear meaning and warm, intimate tone. It is unisex.

Variants and related forms include Anak (the base word, also seen in Balinese titles like Anak Agung), the hyphenated Anak-ku, and the simplified Anaku used by some abroad; however, Anakmu (“your child”) and Anaknya (“his/her child”) are not typical personal names. The name’s sense evokes “beloved child” or “child of mine,” sometimes interpreted aspirationally as a blessing over the bearer. Pronunciation: ah-NAK-koo.
