About the name Anouk

Anouk ends on a hard k, which is unusual for a girls' name and gives it a clipped, continental confidence. Enormously popular in the Netherlands and France, it remains a genuine rarity in America, where most people meet it first through film.

Anouk is a girl name of Dutch origin, pronounced ah-NOOK. On the NameRarity scale it scores 92 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
