History & Origin
Aquanetta is a decorative American coinage resting on the Latin word aqua, 'water.' The -netta ending gives it an ornate, almost jeweled finish, part of a broader mid-century taste for elaborate, invented girls' names in African American communities.
Aquanetta was always rare, reaching a small high around 1974 and never becoming common. A girl named Aquanetta then is now in her forties or fifties, and the name reads as a bold, of-its-moment coinage rather than a returning classic.
