Anginette is English, French in Origin.
Anginette blends the Romance diminutive ending -ette with the Ang- root from Angela/Angeline, ultimately tracing to Greek angelos, “messenger; angel.” In French and Italian naming patterns, -ette/-etta signals affection or smallness, so the sense is “little angel” or “beloved angel.” The spelling with -nette likely arose via the nickname Angie (Angi-) plus -nette, yielding a soft-g pronunciation (an-jih-NET).
Though seldom recorded as a formal given name, Anginette surfaces in North American records among families of French-Canadian or Italian heritage, where it functioned as a pet form that was occasionally bestowed at baptism or civil registration. Close variants include Angelette and Angenette; Italian cognates include Angioletta, alongside the broader family Angela, Angelina, Angeline, and Angelica. Possible nicknames are Angie, Gigi, Nette, Nettie, and Annie. The name remains rare, vintage-leaning, and warmly diminutive.
