History & Origin
Wynetta is an elaboration of Wynette and Winetta, from the Welsh gwyn, 'white, fair, blessed,' finished with the pet ending -etta. The Wyn- opening links it to a family of bright, airy names, and the -etta ending gives it a gentle, mid-century American lilt. It never became common and reads as a home-grown coinage of its era.
It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year around its peak near 1974. A girl named Wynetta then is in her fifties today.
