Lienette is a rare feminine diminutive shaped by the French suffix -ette, most commonly encountered in Francophone and Dutch-speaking contexts. Built on the short form Lien - used in the Low Countries for names such as Aline, Adeline, Pauline, and Helena - it also aligns with the Linette/Lynette family known from Arthurian tradition, which traces back to the Welsh name Eluned. In civil and parish records of northern France and Belgium from the late 19th to mid‑20th century, Lienette appears sporadically as a familiar or affectionate given name.

Meaning depends on the root: from Eluned it conveys “image” or “idol” (from Welsh eilun); from Adeline/Aline it carries “noble”; from Pauline, “small, humble”; and from Helena, “light” or “torch.” Variants and related forms include Linette, Lynette, Lienet, Lien, Lieneke, and Nettie, with nicknames Lien, Lina, Lin, Etta, or Netta. The name retains a vintage, cosmopolitan feel.
