Origin
Meaning and history of Annettee
The name Annettee is a French feminine given name derived from the Hebrew name Anna or Hannah, which means "grace" or "favor." The name has its roots in the biblical figure of Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel in the Old Testament.
Annettee is a variant spelling of the more common Annette, which emerged in France during the Middle Ages. It is believed that the name gained popularity in France after the 12th century, when the cult of St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, became widespread.
One of the earliest known historical references to the name Annettee can be found in the 13th-century French literary work "Roman de la Rose," where a character named Annette is mentioned. Additionally, in the 14th century, there are records of an Annettee de Chevreuse, a French noblewoman who was the mistress of King John II of France.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Annettee. One of the most famous was Annettee de Bournonville (1624-1708), a French courtier and writer who served as the Duchess of Longueville during the reign of Louis XIV. Another historical figure was Annettee de Montmorin (1679-1736), a French aristocrat and socialite who hosted salons attended by prominent philosophers and writers of the Enlightenment era.
In the 19th century, Annettee Vallon (1796-1856) was a French painter and model who gained recognition for her portraits and was the lover of the artist François Gérard. Annettee Marie Sarah Otter (1884-1967), better known as Annie Besant, was a British socialist, women's rights activist, and philosopher who served as the president of the Theosophical Society.
In the 20th century, Annettee Cabanne (1922-2009) was a French actress and singer who appeared in numerous films and stage productions throughout her career. She was known for her performances in the plays of renowned playwrights like Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus.

FAQ
Annettee: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Annettee?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 33 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Annettee going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 10,386,495 US residents.
Is Annettee a common name?
We classify Annettee as "Very Rare". It ranks above 48% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 42 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Annettee most popular?
The single biggest year for Annettee was 1964, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Annettee is about 64 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Annettee in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Annettee a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Annettee in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Annettee still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Annettee in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Annettee can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
