What is the meaning of the name Anouke ?

The baby name Anouke is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /aˈnukə/; respelling: ah-NOOK-uh.

Anouke is Dutch in Origin.

Anouke is a rare modern variant of Anouk, the Dutch and French pet form of Anna. Anna ultimately derives from the Hebrew Channah/Hannah, meaning "grace, favor." The added -e reflects feminine or Romance orthography and appears in contemporary records in Francophone and Benelux contexts. As with Anouk, Anouke keeps a crisp, two-syllable profile while retaining the classic meaning tied to Hannah/Anna.

Use of the base form Anouk rose in the mid-20th century, boosted by French actress Anouk Aimee and Dutch popularity charts; Anouke remains rarer but sits alongside spellings Anouck, Anoek, Anouka, and Annouk. Broader cognates include Anna, Anne, Ana, Hannah, and diminutives Anke and Anya. Across Europe the name signals understated elegance with a modern edge, pairing vintage roots ("grace") with a distinctive, international look.
