What is the meaning of the name Annucschka ?

The baby name Annucschka is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-NOOSH-kah (approx.; IPA: /əˈnuːʃkə/).

Annucschka is German in Origin.

Annucschka is a rare, German-influenced spelling of the Slavic pet form Annushka (Russian Аннушка), a diminutive of Anna. The sequence -cschk- attempts to render the Russian -shk- (-шк-) cluster in German orthography; more common transliterations are Anuschka and Annuschka, alongside the Cyrillic-based Annushka. While chiefly a term of endearment in Russian, it has occasionally been adopted as an independent given name in German-speaking Central Europe since the mid‑20th century; literary familiarity (e.g., Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita, where “Annushka has already spilled the oil”) reinforced its recognizability.

Meaning tracks back to Anna, from Hebrew Channah “grace; favor.” Close variants and cognates include Anuschka, Annuschka, Annushka, Anuška (Czech/Slovak), Anoushka (Anglicized), and Anja/Anya. Nicknames may be Annu, Anu, or Nuschka. Note that Anushka used in South Asia is of separate Sanskrit derivation despite similar form.
