Jeanetta is English in Origin.

Jeanetta is an English feminine given name formed as an elaborated diminutive of Jeanette/Jeannette, which derives from French Jeanne, the feminine of Jean (ultimately from Hebrew Yochanan via Greek Ioannes and Latin Iohannes). The meaning, shared across the John/Joan family of names, is "Yahweh is gracious" or "God is gracious." The -ette/-etta morphology reflects French diminutive styling blended with an Italianate -a ending.

Attested in British and American records from the late 18th century onward, Jeanetta saw intermittent use through the Victorian era and into the early 20th century, but remained much rarer than Jeanette and Janet. Variant spellings include Jeannetta, Jennetta, and Janetta; related forms are Jeanette, Jeannette, Janet, and Janette. International cognates of the root include Jeanne, Jane, Joan, Joanna, Johanna, Juana/Juanita, Siân, Sinéad, Gianna, and Gianetta. Common short forms are Jeanie, Netta, and Etta.
