Meaning & origin
Mignonne is a French word name meaning 'cute' or 'darling', used sparingly as a given name. Its peak in the United States occurred in 1912, when it first appeared in Social Security records, but it has remained extremely rare, with no recorded births in recent decades. The name's trajectory is stable but negligible, with no sign of revival. It has not appeared in any top state rankings or among similar names, reflecting its obscurity.
Mignonne is the feminine form of the French adjective 'mignon', meaning 'cute' or 'darling'. It has been used as a given name occasionally since the late 19th century, though it has never been widespread. The word entered English via French, and the name saw a minor peak in the U.S. in 1912, with only a handful of recorded births.
