Linnette is an uncommon yet charming name of French origin, derived from the region of Limousin in central France. It is a unisex name that has gained some popularity over time but remains relatively unique. The name Linnette is often associated with warmth and approachability, reflecting its roots in the inviting and picturesque landscapes of the Limousin region.
"Linnette saw its peak popularity in the late 1950s to early 1960s, with years like 1958 and 1964 recording over 30 births each. However, it has become increasingly rare since the 1970s, with less than 15 births per year after 1976. The name's usage has been quite inconsistent throughout history, with no clear pattern or steady decline."
