Anu is a Vedic Sanskrit term for a non-Arya (non-Aryan) in the Rigveda, and the name of a non-Aryan tribe in RV 1.108.8, RV 8.10.5 (both times listed together with the Druhyu) and in the Mahabharata. One of the Anu kings, King Anga, was a chakravartin (AB 8.22).

Ānava, the vrddhi derivation of either Anu or Ānu "living, human", appears as the name of a foreign ruler in the Rigvedic account of the Battle of the Ten Kings.
