History & Origin
Danett is a pared-down form of Danette, which pairs the -ette diminutive suffix with Danielle, the feminine of Daniel. That biblical root, from the Hebrew for God is my judge, is the meaning Danett carries. The -ette names were fashionable through the middle of the twentieth century, and Danett appears in United States records with a late, small high around the early twenty-tens.
It was never widespread, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its modest peak, so its bearers span from mid-century to quite recently. It reads as a streamlined variant that parents drawn to it often trade for the tidier Danielle or Danette.
