Anoushkaa is a modern, embellished form of Anoushka/Anushka, used chiefly in South Asia and the global Indian diaspora. The core name traces to two streams: in Russian it is a pet form of Anna (Аннушка), ultimately from Hebrew Channah, “grace” or “favor”; in Armenian and Persian contexts, cognate Anush/Anoush means “sweet, pleasant.” The double -aa ending reflects contemporary Indian spelling conventions to signal a long final vowel or for numerological balance.

In 19th-century Russian literature the diminutive Annushka appears, giving the name a familiar, affectionate tone; its international profile rose in the late 20th century through figures like sitarist Anoushka Shankar and Indian actors bearing the Anushka form. Variants include Anoushka, Anushka, Annushka, and German Anuschka; related forms are Anna, Hannah, and Anousheh. Common nicknames are Anu, Nush, and Nushka.
