Renot is in Origin.

Renot is a rare French-based diminutive formed with the suffix -ot, most plausibly derived from René, itself from Latin Renatus, meaning “reborn” or “born again.” Parallel forms appear in regional Romance dialects (compare Occitan Renòt), and the spelling occasionally surfaces as a surname that later migrates to given-name use. The root Renatus gained currency in Late Antiquity among Christians for its baptismal symbolism, and it endured through medieval and Renaissance France when René was fashionable; -ot pet forms were common in that period.

Today Renot remains unusual, lending a distinctive twist while keeping the venerable meaning. Close variants and cognates include René (masculine) and Renée/Renata (feminine), Latin Renatus, Catalan/Occitan Renat, and Italian/Spanish/Portuguese Renato; short forms include Ren and Reno. Not to be confused with Renaud/Reynold, which derive from Germanic elements meaning “counsel” and “rule,” not “rebirth.”
