Anette Origin and Meaning

The name Anette is a girl's name.

Anette is a feminine name of French and Scandinavian origin, functioning as a variant of Annette, which itself is a diminutive of Anne. The name ultimately derives from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor'. Anette has a delicate, refined quality while maintaining simplicity and elegance. Popular throughout Scandinavia and parts of Europe, this single-T spelling variation is less common in English-speaking countries than Annette. The name reached peak popularity in the mid-20th century but maintains timeless appeal. Anette conveys sophistication without pretension and offers the friendly nickname options of 'Annie' or 'Nette'. Its cross-cultural recognition makes it accessible across different languages while still feeling somewhat distinctive.
