feminine · English origin
Nanette is an English diminutive form of Anne, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning grace or favor. The double diminutive suffix gives it a distinctly French flavor, and the name became widely recognized through the 1925 musical No, No, Nanette, which brought it into popular use in the English-speaking world. Related forms include Nan, Nancy, Nannie, and Anne.
