Ginnette

Ginnette is a delicate feminine name of French origin, functioning as a diminutive form of names like Gina, Regina, or Virginia. The name carries a dainty, sophisticated flair with its French styling and '-ette' suffix, which traditionally indicates something small or endearing. Though uncommon in English-speaking countries, Ginnette has a certain charm and elegance that appeals to parents seeking something distinctive yet recognizable. Its pronunciation (jin-NET or zhee-NET) has a musical quality that enhances its appeal. Historically less prevalent than similar names like Jeannette or Ginette (with one 'n'), Ginnette maintains an air of uniqueness while still having familiar elements that make it accessible.

Pronounced jin-ET.

As of October 2026, Ginnette ranked #11234 in US births in 1985 SSA, peaked at #4294 in 1958.
