Danet is a gender-neutral name of English, Scottish, and French origin, and it has long been used as a last name in different parts of the world. In France, you'll most commonly find the name in the beautiful coastal region of Brittany. In England and Scotland, the origin of Danet is likely locational, given to people either from the seaside Scottish village of Dunnet or the English towns of Downhead in Somerset and Donhead in Wiltshire. Downhead and Donhead both derive from the Old English dun-heafod, meaning "top of the down (hill)." Alternatively, the name was once a medieval nickname for people with dark hair or complexion, from the Old English dunn (dark-colored) and -ett (son of.) Whether baby has lovely dark locks or you simply like the sound, Danet is a wonderful name choice with a wealth of different roots.
