Annushka is in Origin.

Annushka (Аннушка) is a Russian affectionate diminutive of Anna, built with the endearing -ushka suffix. Anna ultimately comes from the Hebrew Channah (“grace, favor”), transmitted through Greek and Church Slavonic into the Orthodox world, where it flourished from medieval times under the veneration of St. Anne. As a pet form, Annushka conveys warmth and intimacy rather than formal status, though it can stand alone as a given name.

The name is familiar to readers of Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita via the catchphrase “Annushka has already spilled the oil,” and appears in 19th–20th-century Russian usage and folklore. Related forms include Anna, Anne, Hanna/Hannah; Slavic diminutives Anya/Anja, Ania, Anyuta, Anechka, Nyuta; and transliteration variants Annuska/Anushka. Note that South Asian or Armenian Anushka/Anoushka can be etymologically separate (from Persian/Armenian anush “sweet” or Sanskrit roots). The core meaning, however, remains the gracious charm of Anna.
