The name is spelled "Annushka". It is a Russian diminutive form (or 'pet name') of the given name "Anna", meaning "favor, grace".

Anna is borrowed into Russian (and many other languages) from the original Hebrew name, Hannah [Hebrew written חַנָּה --the first letter of the Hebrew is sometimes written "ch" and is pronounced like the "ch" in Scottish "loch"], meaning "favor, grace".
