Nushechka is Slavic in Origin.

Nushechka is a Slavic affectionate diminutive, most common in Russian and Ukrainian, formed with the tender suffix -echka from Nusya/Nusia, an endearing pet form of Anna (also seen as Anusia). Through Anna, it traces back to the Hebrew Channah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor,' so the name carries that meaning while adding a warm, cozy tone typical of home and family address.

Used in diaries, letters, and everyday speech across Eastern Europe from the late 19th century onward, Nushechka appears rarely as an official given name but is well recognized as a nickname. Variants and close forms include Nusha, Nusya/Nusia, Nusenka, Anusia/Anusya, and the related Annushka; cognates in other languages are Anya and Ania, with broader equivalents Hannah/Channah. Today it lends a vintage, affectionate flavor: sweet for a household nickname or, occasionally, a distinctive formal choice.
