Anoushka is name of daughter of famous musician Ravi Shankar .
the meaning of her name , she has pur on her web site as : What does "Anoushka" mean?
Anoushka is actually a Russian name. Usually it is a diminutive or nickname for people with names like "Anne," "Anna" or "Annie," since "Shka" means little in Russian. When girls grow up they tend to adopt the shorter version of the name, though now outside of Russia "Anoushka" has slowly become more popular as a proper name.
as far as i have heard its pronounced as Ah-noosh-ka hmm say like pronouncing Hanukkah with a a SH after Hanu .!!

Anoushka is Russian, a pet form of Anna, pronounced ah-NOOSH-kah. In Hungarian it's Annuska, in Czech Anuska, both pronounced the same. There's also the Czech Anezka, pronounced ah-NEJH-kah, a form of Agnes. In Eastern European languages I've never heard of Ah-na-ush-ka but it seems to me like what someone unfamiliar with the name might make of Anoushka, 'sounding out' all the vowels instead of using the diphthong for ah-nuh-ush-ka. A clue as to where you heard it might lead in one direction or the other.
