Ranetta is a unique and distinctive given name, believed to have originated from African American Vernacular English (AAVE). It is a variant of Ranetta, which itself might be derived from the Italian surname Ranetta, thought to have been brought to America by Italian immigrants. This name has gained popularity among African Americans in the United States since the mid-20th century. As a given name, it is not widely known outside of specific communities and therefore carries an air of uniqueness and individuality.
"The name Ranetta saw its peak popularity between 1954 and 1956 with five births each year, followed by a decline and then another peak in the late 70s to early 80s, with eight births each in 1979, 1982, and 1984. Overall, there were 114 babies named Ranetta over these years."
