Help[Facts] Re: Is Jeanette a genuine French name?
in reply to a message by guasguendi
The spelling in English might have been influenced by the Scottish Jean and Janet. Jean was a form of Jane in used in Scotland, and Janet was usually how the diminutive was spelt, but there was also Janette and Jeanette. It was about as popular has Annette or Harriette, possibly more so.
