Marnetta Origin and Meaning

The name Marnetta is a girl's name.

Marnetta is a feminine name that likely developed as a diminutive or elaboration of Marna, which itself may be a variant of Marina (meaning 'of the sea' in Latin) or possibly derived from variations of Mary. The '-etta' suffix adds a musical, affectionate quality typical of Italian diminutives. Marnetta appeared in American naming records primarily during the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon. The name has a vintage charm with its melodic three-syllable structure and soft consonants. While not widely used, it appeals to parents seeking a distinctive name with a gentle sound and traditional feminine quality.
