Nannet is Dutch, French in Origin.

Nannet is a modern, streamlined variant of Nanette, the French pet form of Anne. Anne ultimately derives from Hebrew Channah, meaning “grace” or “favor.” Through Latin Anna and Old French Anne, the name became central across Christian Europe, especially in France where devotion to Sainte Anne strengthened its use. The clipped spelling Nannet follows contemporary trends of simplifying final vowels in French-origin names.

Nanette peaked in France in the 18th–19th centuries and crossed into English-speaking countries by the early 20th century, with a mid-century bump via stage and screen; Nannet, however, remains rare and stylishly unusual. Related forms include Nanette, Nannette, Nannetta (Italianate), Ninette, and Ninetta, along with the base names Anne, Anna, and Hannah. Short forms and nicknames range from Nan and Nani to Nettie and Nette. The core meaning carried by Nannet is “grace,” with a gentle, vintage lilt.
