Annet is in Origin.

Annet is a compact form of the Anna/Anne family, most common in Dutch and East African use. It ultimately descends from Hebrew Channah (grace, favor), passing into Greek and Latin as Hanna/Anna and into French as Anne and the diminutive Annette; Dutch dropped the second t to yield Annet. Though chiefly feminine today, a rare historical masculine use appears in Brittany and early modern France, where Anne/Annet sometimes served as male given names.

The name surfaces in Dutch records from the late 19th century and rose in mid-20th-century Netherlands; in Uganda, Kenya, and neighboring countries, Annet spread through Christian naming traditions and remains widespread. Related forms and variants include Annette, Anette, Annett, Annetta, Anna, Anne, Ana, Hannah, and Anita; diminutives and short forms include Netty, Nettie, and Nette. The core meaning keeps its enduring sense of grace and favor.
