History & Origin

Lennette is a variant of Lynette and Lynnette, a Len- or Lynn base finished with the French ending -ette, 'little.' Lynette reaches back through Arthurian legend to the Welsh Eluned. Lennette is one of the era's many respellings, prized for the same soft, feminine lilt and never rising far in use.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year around its peak near 1963. A girl named Lennette then is in her sixties today.

Did you know? The -ette ending, 'little,' shaped mid-century names like Lynette and Annette; Lennette is a rarer double-n spelling in that group.
