History & Origin

Lianette reads as a modern compound. Liana is used in Italian and Spanish as a short form of names such as Juliana and Emiliana, and doubles as the word for a climbing vine; -ette is the French diminutive suffix, 'little,' that produced Annette, Jeanette and Colette. The joined name is a recent formation rather than an inherited one, and we present it honestly on those terms (said 'lee-uh-NET').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, dainty, and vintage-flavoured.

Did you know? The -ette ending on Lianette is an old French diminutive meaning 'little' - the same ending that gives us Annette, Jeanette and Nanette.
