Anatu is Hausa in Origin.
Anatu is a rare feminine name rooted in Northwest Semitic tradition, representing the Akkadian form of the goddess name 'Anat. The -u ending reflects the Akkadian nominative case found in cuneiform records. Its lexical meaning is uncertain; many scholars connect it to a Semitic root 'n-t associated with vigor or aggressive strength, so the name is often understood as '(the goddess) Strength/Power,' though it is safest taken simply as the theonym of the famed war and fertility deity.
Attested across Late Bronze Age sources, Anatu/'Anat appears in Ugaritic hymns, Egyptian transcriptions, and Assyro-Babylonian texts, and in theophoric personal names in the Levant (compare the biblical form Anath). Variants and related forms include Anat (modern Hebrew), Anath (English biblical), and academic 'Anat; do not confuse it with Antu/Antum, the Mesopotamian consort of Anu. Today Anatu remains very uncommon as a given name, while Anat is used in Israel.
