Meaning & origin
Annet is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1954. Its most popular year was 2003, though it never broke into the top 1000 nationally, reflecting its status as an uncommon choice. The name has remained remarkably stable in usage over the decades, with no sudden surges or declines. While it has no recorded top states, it is used sporadically across the country. As a diminutive of Ann, it shares the enduring appeal of classic names like Anne and Anna, but with a distinctive French-inspired spelling. Parents drawn to vintage-sounding, underused names may find Annet an elegant alternative to more common variants like Annette.
Annet is a variant of Annette, a French diminutive of Anne, which derives from the Hebrew name Hannah (חַנָּה), meaning 'grace' or 'favor'. The name has been used in English-speaking countries since the medieval period, often as a pet form of Ann or Anna.
