Annot is in Origin.

Annot is a medieval English and Scots diminutive of Ann/Anne, formed with the Anglo‑Norman -ot suffix used for affectionate pet names (cf. Emmot from Emma, Isot from Isabel). The root ultimately traces to Hebrew Channah via Latin Anna, conveying the sense of “grace” or “favor.” Spellings varied in records - Anot, Anote, Anot(t)e, and Annot - appearing in 13th–16th‑century parish lists and later persisting as both a given name and a byname.

Related forms include Annet, Annett, Annette (French), Annetta (Italian), and the surnames Annett/Annott derived from the medieval personal name. In English usage it faded after the early modern period but survives in archival and regional contexts, with occasional modern revival by families seeking a compact, antique alternative to Anne or Anna. Cognate short forms such as Annie, Nan, and Nettie share the same etymological family, while the meaning remains anchored in the timeless idea of divine grace.
