Why was Anne of Austria so called?
Upvote:1
Anne of Austria was a direct descendant of King Charles V of "Austria," through her father, King Philip III of Spain. This man's paternal grandfather was Charles V of Austria, who in turn, was the grandson of Maximilian of Austria and Marie of Burgundy, on his father's side, and Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain on his mother's side.
So it's just a matter of Anne of "Austria" inheriting her patrilineal antecedents in her "surname," or designation.

That same wiki post on Anne of Austria contains this line:
In spite of her birth in Spain, she was referred to as Anne of Austria because the rulers of Spain belonged to the House of Austria.[1]
which answers your question.
