Meaning & origin
Glennette is a rare feminine name that saw its highest usage in the 1940s, particularly in 1949, its peak year. Derived from the Scottish name Glenn meaning 'valley', it follows a naming pattern popular in the mid-20th century of adding the '-ette' suffix to masculine names. Since its first recorded use in 1942, Glennette has never been widely used, and its trajectory is stable at extremely low usage. The name has not appeared in any top states in recent decades.
Glennette is a feminine diminutive of the Scottish surname and given name Glenn, which derives from the Gaelic word 'gleann' meaning 'valley'. The suffix '-ette' is a French diminutive, popularized in English names in the early 20th century. The name emerged in the 1940s, reflecting the trend of creating feminine forms of masculine names.
