The surname DEPINET is believed to have originated from the Normandy region of France in the 11th century. It is thought to be derived from the Old French words "de" meaning "from" and "pinet" meaning "pine tree". This suggests that the name likely referred to someone who lived near or owned land with pine trees.

In the late 12th century, the name appears in the historic Domesday Book, which was a survey of landowners and properties commissioned by William the Conqueror. This early record provides evidence of the surname's existence and use during the Norman period in England.

During the 16th century, the name DEPINET was found in various forms, including DEPYNET and DEPENETT, reflecting different spellings and regional variations. One example is William DEPENETT, who was born in 1524 in Somerset, England, and served as a member of the local gentry.

In the 17th century, the name spread across Europe, with records showing individuals named DEPINET in Germany, the Netherlands, and other neighboring regions. One such individual was Hans DEPINET, a German merchant who lived in the city of Hamburg from 1642 to 1702.

As the name continued to evolve over time, it also became associated with certain place names. For instance, in France, there is a village called Depinet in the department of Orne, which may have derived its name from the surname or vice versa.
