Anouk
Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Anouk: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2017.
Derived from the French pet form of the Hebrew name Anna, Anouk ultimately traces back to the biblical Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favour'. The name gained international recognition through the Dutch-born French actress and singer Anouk Aimée, star of classic films like *A Man and a Woman*. While not a traditional Scottish name, it shares its etymological roots with the Gaelic name Áine, from which the Scottish name Annag is derived. Anouk has a stylish, continental feel that has seen modest but steady use in modern Scotland, often chosen by parents drawn to names that feel both soft and sophisticated.
