Robinett is English in Origin.

Robinett is a surname-turned-given name of Anglo-French origin, ultimately derived from Robert via the medieval pet name Robin. The diminutive suffix -et (and its feminine -ette) in Old/Middle French produced Robinet/Robinette, literally “little Robin,” with the underlying Germanic meaning “bright fame” (from hrod “fame” + berht “bright”). In English records the spelling without the final e, Robinett, developed as a variant and later solidified as a family name.

As a personal name, Robinett is rare but attested in the United States and Britain, often chosen to honor a maternal surname or to evoke the familiar Robin while remaining distinctive. It functions as gender-neutral, though the -ette family of forms can read more feminine. Variants and related forms include Robinette, Robinet, Robynette, Robinetta, and the base names Robin/Robyn, Robert, and Roberta. Diminutives or nicknames may be Robin, Robi, or Robbie.
