'''''Anu''''' was a major tribe in the [[Rigveda]], [[Mandala 1|RV 1]].108.8, [[Mandala 8|RV 8]].10.5 (both times listed together with the [[Druhyu]]) and, later also in the [[Mahabharata]]. One of the Anu kings, King Anga, was a [[chakravarti]] ([[Aitareya Brahmana|AB]] 8.22).<br />
<br />
''Ānava'', the [[vrddhi]] derivation of ''Anu'' appears as the name of a ruler in the Rigvedic account of the [[Battle of the Ten Kings]] (7.18.13) and at 8.4.1 with the Turvaśa (tribe). The meaning ánu "living, human" (Naighantu) cannot be substantiated for the Rigveda <ref>Mayrhofer, Etym. Dict. 1986, pt. 1, p. 74</ref> and may have been derived from the tribal name.<br />
