What is the meaning of the name Ninet ?

Ninet is Georgian in Origin.

Ninet most often reflects Francophone Ninette, a pet form of Anne (from Hebrew Hannah, “grace”), and thus shares the meaning “grace/favor.” In Catalan and Valencian, however, ninet is the diminutive of nin “child,” with feminine parallels nina/nineta “girl/doll,” giving an affectionate sense of “little one.” While the Catalan root is unisex, as a given name Ninet has been used mainly for girls.

Recorded in France and Belgium from the late 19th century, the name also circulated in North African Francophone communities and later in Israel, helped by singer Ninet Tayeb. Variants and related forms include Ninette, Nine, Ninon, and Catalan Nineta; cognate roots are Anne/Anna and Hannah. Common nicknames are Nini and Nine. Overall, Ninet reads vintage yet international, with meanings ranging from “grace” to “little one.”
