Anouk Name Meaning and Origin

Anouk is of French and Dutch origin, often considered a diminutive form of the name Anne or Anna, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning “grace” or “favor.” Anouk is predominantly used as a feminine name and is popular in French-speaking regions, as well as in the Netherlands and Belgium. Its charming, simple yet distinctive sound has contributed to its appeal, particularly in modern times. The name gained further recognition through the French actress Anouk Aimée, solidifying its status as an elegant, classic name in European culture.
