Fannette is a charming and distinctive given name of French origin. It's derived from the word 'fan' meaning 'waving' or 'fluttering', suggesting perhaps a connection to gracefulness or lightness. The name Fannette is quite rare, adding to its unique appeal. It may have been more popular during the 19th century in France but has since become increasingly uncommon.
"Fannette was a popular baby girl's name in 1925 with five newborns sharing it that year."
