Nenet is Egyptian in Origin.

Nenet is a feminine given name rooted in Ancient Egyptian religion. It corresponds to the goddess Naunet (also written Nunet or Nounet), the female principle of the Ogdoad who personified the primeval waters from which creation emerged. Because hieroglyphic writing omitted vowels, later scholars produced several spellings; Nenet conveys the same idea of “the deep” or “primeval waters,” and by extension suggests origins, vastness, and hidden wisdom.

As a personal name it is rare in pharaonic sources, appearing more as a theonym or epithet, but it has seen occasional modern revival among Egyptology enthusiasts and in literary or spiritual circles. Variants and closely related forms include Naunet, Nunet, and Nounet; Amaunet is a kindred theonym in the same cosmology, though a distinct deity. Possible short forms are Nene or Net. Not related to the Siberian ethnonym Nenets.
