Lynnettah is English in Origin.

Lynnettah is a modern elaboration of Lynetta/Lynette, themselves English forms tracing to the Welsh name Eluned (also Luned), via Arthurian romance where the damsel Lynette appears in Malory. The -etta ending reflects Romance diminutive influence; the final -h imitates the soft breath of names like Hannah or Norah and is mostly ornamental. From the Eluned root, the name carries the sense “idol, image” (Welsh elun). By folk association, it can also inherit meanings linked with Lynn (“lake, pool”) and with linnet, the finch whose name shaped Lynette in English imagination.

As a given name, Lynnettah is extremely rare and chiefly seen in late 20th–21st‑century records in North America, part of creative respellings of mid‑century Lynette, which peaked in the 1960s–70s. Variants and related forms include Lynetta, Lynette, Linette, Linnette, Linetta, Lynita, Lyneta; short forms Etta, Netta, and Lynn are common nicknames.
