Anichka is Slavic in Origin.
Anichka is a Slavic affectionate diminutive of Anna, ultimately from Hebrew Channah "grace, favor," via Greek and Latin Anna. The -chka/-čka diminutive suffix is typical across Slavic languages. In East Slavic it appears as Аничка (transliterated Anichka), and in Czech and Slovak as Anička with a háček. The form grew in everyday speech, family settings, and folk tradition as Anna became widespread through the veneration of Saint Anne from medieval times onward. Today it is sometimes adopted as a standalone given name outside its home regions, but remains primarily a pet form.
Variants and related forms include Anna, Hannah, Ana; diminutives Anya/Ania/Anja, Anechka (Анечка), Anyuta (Анюта), Annushka (Аннушка), and the West Slavic Anička. Close cognates Annika/Anika are parallel diminutives in Scandinavia and Central/Eastern Europe. The name carries the gentle sense of "little Anna" or "dear grace," preserving the timeless meaning of favor and graciousness.
