History & Origin
Annjanette is a compound name marrying Ann, from Hebrew Hannah, 'grace,' to Jeanette, a French diminutive of Jeanne, itself the feminine of John. Double names like it were a mid-century American fashion. Annjanette appears in United States records from the mid-1960s and reached a small high around 1971, with an especially short run through the 1980s.
A girl named Annjanette then would be in her fifties now, placing it firmly in a mom-and-grandma range. It reads as a dressed-up, of-its-era compound and has not revived, though its two familiar halves keep it easy to recognize.
