Originating from African roots, Lanetta is an uncommon yet enchanting given name, derived from the Swahili word 'lanet', meaning 'calmness' or 'peace'. It's a unisex name, often chosen for its unique sound and association with tranquility.
"Lanetta appears to have been quite popular as a baby girl name from the late 1940s to the mid-1970s, with over 300 births recorded during this period alone. However, its popularity began to decline after the 1970s and has remained relatively low since then."
