Benét Origin and Meaning

The name Benét is a girl's name.

Benét is a feminine name with French and Catalan origins, derived from the Latin name 'Benedictus,' meaning 'blessed.' In Catalan, it's the equivalent of Benedict, though when used as a feminine name, it creates a delicate, sophisticated impression. The accent over the 'e' gives the name a distinctive European flair and influences its pronunciation (ben-AY). While not widely used, Benét has appeal for parents seeking a name with subtle religious connotations and elegant sound qualities. The name might also call to mind American poet Stephen Vincent Benét, adding literary associations. Its rarity makes it distinctive while its classical roots provide depth and historical connection.
