Many books mention
Anouk as a form of
Ann or
Anna. Probably because of the Russian version
Anouska. In russian -ouska is added to names to make a pet form ie:
Anouska meaning little
Ann or little
Anna.
But this has nothing to do with the name
Anouk wich is origin from the Inuits in Greenland and Alaska.
Yes the name
Anouk is very popular in
France and Holland. But I think that is to do with the french actress
Anouk Aimèe, who in 1966 stared in the beautiful film, A man and a woman. And in later years we have the Dutch singer
Anouk. Bringing the name
Anouk back up on the popular baby names lists. In the rest of Europe the name
Anouk is still very unusual!
