Meaning:Little lake; Idol, image; Free man; Army
Beautiful as it may be, Linette is a feminine name with a meaning that is not so easily detected. Ever mysterious, Linette could be a combination of the Welsh name Lynn and the suffix -ette, translating to "little lake." Yet still, the waters run deep with this fair moniker, as Linette may also be tied to the name Eluned, from the Welsh eilun, meaning "idol" or "image." Perhaps Linette takes inspiration from Caroline and other -line ending names, sharing Caroline's German definitions of "free man" and "army." Linette is befitting of one who is reflective in nature, their appealing, calm surface holding all manners of wisdom for those willing to plumb their depths.
