Anquinetta is an uncommon and distinctive given name of African origin, derived from the Yoruba name 'Oya Nette,' which translates to 'Mother Nature.' It was popularized in Western cultures through its association with jazz singer and actress Anquette 'Anquinetta' Jamison.
"Anquinetta was quite popular in 1990, with five babies given this name that year. However, it has not gained widespread usage since then."
