What does the name Ninette mean?
Behind the Name calls Ninette a French diminutive of Nina. Wikipedia says it is a feminine given name that originated as a French diminutive of Nina. Behind the Name says Nina is a short form of names that end in nina, such as Antonina or Giannina, and that it was imported to Western Europe from Russia and Italy in the 19th century. So Ninette is a doubly dainty name, a little form of a name that was already little.
Ninette nicknames and other forms
Behind the Name’s family tree for Ninette lists the full forms Nina, Jeanette, Jeannette, Janine, Jeannie and Jenny. It also lists the Quebec French Joannie. Nina is the sweetest short form for this French name.
Some famous Ninettes
Wikipedia’s short list of Ninettes includes Ninette de Valois (1898 to 2001), the Irish-born British dancer, teacher and choreographer who directed classical ballet in Britain. It also names Ninette Dutton (1923 to 2007), an Australian artist, broadcaster and author, and Ninette Finch, born in 1933, an English actress.
Ninette through the decades
Ninette never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name has no yearly ranking for it in the United States or in any other country. It is a rare name, which suits a girl whose notebook should be as distinctive as she is.
Did you know?
Wikipedia says that Ninette de Valois was born Edris Stannus, which means her famous name was a stage name. She directed classical ballet in Britain, which makes the name a lovely fit for a dancer. Behind the Name notes that its root, Nina, nearly coincides with the Spanish word niña, meaning “little girl,” a charming extra association.
