Wanetta

Meaning of Wanetta

Wanetta (pronounced wuh-NET-uh) dances onto the scene like a burst of vintage sunshine, a playful American spin on Juanita—the Spanish diminutive of Juana, meaning “God is gracious.” Though she first tip-toed onto U.S. birth certificates in the early 1900s, Wanetta truly found her moment between the 1940s and 1980s, hovering in the 700s on the popularity charts and sprinkling retro charm into nurseries from coast to coast. Picture her as a wildflower in full bloom at a backyard barbecue—warm, spirited and effortlessly radiant. With each syllable she evokes sunlit meadows, family picnics and endless summer laughter, ready to infuse any little girl’s life with her bright-eyed optimism and timeless grace.
