This is my given name using this spelling of the name. I will be 58 this year. The name is of French origin and it means "from the little lane". Lanetta is a derivative of Lanette. Lynnette is the original spelling of the name, and the name Lynnette is derived from Lynn. How do I edit the meaning and origins of this name? I found it's origins and meaning in a book of baby names my mom had. The book was copywritten in the 1950s prior to my birth.
