Bennet is English in Origin.
Bennet is an English given name and surname rooted in the medieval form of Benedict, from Latin Benedictus, "blessed" or "well-spoken of." Via Norman French Benoît/Beneit, the name entered Middle English as Benet/Bennet, later yielding the spellings Bennet and Bennett. Closely related international variants include Benedict (English), Benoît (French), Benito (Spanish), Benedikt (German/Scandinavian), Benedetto (Italian), and Benedito (Portuguese); feminine counterparts include Benedicta, Benita, and Benoîte.
Used widely in medieval England thanks to the cult of St. Benedict, Bennet later persisted mainly as a surname, with the one-t spelling now the rarer given-name form beside Bennett. It carries a distinctly literary sheen through Mr. Bennet of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Contemporary usage benefits from the surname-as-first trend and the approachable short form Ben; other nicknames include Benny and Ned (by way of Benedict).
