Nette is of German origin, derived from the Germanic word 'hnut', meaning 'little knot'. It is primarily a female given name, though it can also be used for males. Nette was relatively popular in Germany during the mid-20th century but has since become less common. The name is often associated with nature due to its literal translation as 'little knot' or 'small twig', which could imply resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
"Nette is quite uncommon, with only 5 babies named Nette born in 1916 and another 6 in 1918, making a total of 11 over these two years."
