Zsanett is Hungarian in Origin.

Zsanett is the Hungarian adaptation of the French diminutive Jeannette (from Jeanne), ultimately tracing back to Hebrew Yohanan via Greek Ioannes and Latin Iohannes. The name carries the meaning “God is gracious.” Hungarian phonology renders the French j- sound as zs, hence Zsanett, with stress on the first syllable.

In Hungary, Zsanett entered regular use in the late 19th and 20th centuries through French cultural influence and became especially fashionable toward the late 20th century. Related international variants include Jeannette/Jeanette (French/English), Janet/Janette (English-Scottish), Žaneta (Czech/Slovak), Żaneta (Polish), and Janeta (Romanian); a less common Hungarian form is Zsanetta. Short forms such as Zsani and Zsana occur in everyday use. The name blends a cosmopolitan pedigree with a distinctly Hungarian look and sound, while preserving the traditional, reassuring meaning of the John/Joan family.
