Carinette is in Origin.

Carinette blends the French diminutive suffix -ette with Carine/Carina (from Latin carus, “dear, beloved”) and sometimes with Scandinavian Karin (a Katherine form from Greek katharos, “pure”). As a result, the name most often carries the sense “little beloved” or, by Katherine influence, “little pure one.” Its structure mirrors other French affectionate forms and fits neatly with nicknames like Cari, Rina, Etta, or Netta.

Documented only rarely, Carinette appears as a modern, Francophone coinage from the mid-20th century onward, seen sporadically in France, Belgium, Québec, and in French-influenced Caribbean communities. It functions both as an intimate pet form and as an independent given name. Related variants and spellings include Carine, Carina, Karine, Karinette, and Carinetta; cognates to consider are Cara, Caro, Karin, and Karina.
