Lenette is a unique and charming name of French origin, derived from the French word 'lent', meaning 'slow' or 'sluggish'. It was initially used as a pet form of names such as Lentine, which were derived from the Latin word 'lenta', meaning 'slender' or 'slim'. Over time, Lenette has evolved into a name in its own right, gaining popularity for its distinctiveness and pleasant sound. The name is composed of three syllables: Le-nette, with the stress typically placed on the second syllable. It is often associated with warmth, creativity, and individuality.
The name Lenette appears to have been quite popular in the mid-20th century, with a significant increase in usage between 1944 and 1957. The highest number of births recorded was 37 in 1960. However, its popularity declined sharply from the late 1970s onwards, with fewer than 10 births per year since 1981.
