ArchivesRe: Zanetta . . .
in reply to a message by Chrisell
Hey, thanks for this Chris, I assume that Zenetta is also a variant of Zanetta, as well?
Tolkien fan, hey? amongst my autograph collection i have his and a couple of his original sketches, of Hobbits, although they look more like a trolls. I bought them a few years back in an auction before he came back into fashion. Sadly, i neglected to bid on his dairy in the same auction. Can you imagine what you might pay if they came up for sale today? Hmmm...

Zenetta could be a variation of Zanetta, although it's getting more removed from the original, if Zanetta *is* from Zsanett (which is only an educated guess). It's worth noting that there is another Hungarian name, Zsinett, which is related to Genevieve (presumably along the lines of the English Genette) - which could be another etymology of Zanetta / Zenetta, depending on which came first.

That's pretty cool about the sketches - I wasn't aware that Tolkien's family had auctioned off any of his things, as they're pretty possessive about the whole thing (and quite understandably so!).
