Anouk is Dutch in Origin.
Anouk is a Dutch- and French-formed diminutive of Anne/Anna, ultimately from Hebrew Channah, meaning "grace" or "favor." The affectionate -ouk ending gives it a brisk, modern feel while preserving the classic root. Spelling variants include Anouck (more common in French contexts) and Annouk; related forms are Anne, Anna, Annie, Anya, and Annika. In many languages it functions both as an independent given name and a familiar short form of Anne/Anna.
Use spread in the Low Countries and Francophone Europe during the mid-20th century, helped by the prominence of French actress Anouk Aimée; it later enjoyed renewed visibility through Dutch singer Anouk Teeuwe. The name remains especially popular in the Netherlands and Belgium and is familiar in France and Switzerland. Its compact, two-syllable profile and international readability make it a contemporary choice that still conveys the timeless "grace" of its Hebrew ancestor.
