Meaning & origin
Yaneth first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1975, a Spanish-influenced respelling of Janet that has steadily grown in use, particularly among Hispanic families. The name reached its peak popularity in 2024, ranking 5,917, and continues its upward trajectory, reflecting a broader trend of feminized 'eth' endings in Spanish-language names. In 2025, it was given to roughly 1 in every 80,363 girls. Unlike many other Janet variants that have faded, Yaneth's modern sound and cultural resonance have sustained its rise since the late 1980s, making it a distinctive yet familiar choice.
Yaneth is a Spanish respelling of Janet, a feminine form of John. Janet originated as a Scottish diminutive of Jane, which ultimately comes from the Hebrew name Yochanan. The name Yaneth gained popularity in Hispanic communities, particularly in the United States, from the 1970s onward.
