Anu-Hea is a modern hyphenated form of the Hawaiian given name Anuhea, built from anu “cool, chilly” and hea “fragrance/call,” yielding the cherished sense “cool fragrance” or “cool, gentle breeze.” As a lexical word in Hawaiian, anuhea evokes the refreshing scent carried by trade winds and is most often used as a feminine name, though it can be unisex.

As a given name, Anuhea gained wider visibility in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, notably through Hawaiian singer Anuhea Jenkins, helping to propel usage beyond the islands. Variants include Anuhea (standard, unhyphenated), Anu-Hea (hyphenated), and Anu Hea (spaced). Common nicknames are Anu and Hea. While Anu appears independently in other languages - Finnish (a form of Anna), Sanskrit (minute/atom), and Mesopotamian myth (the sky god Anu) - the compound Anu-Hea is specifically Hawaiian in origin and meaning.
