Anette

Anette is a gentle, Scandinavian evolution of Anna, itself a form of the Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor'. From its ancient roots, the name traveled through Europe, often favored by royalty and the devout, before finding a particular charm in the Nordic countries. It arrived in America in the early 20th century, a familiar echo of a beloved classic.
