Lenetta is a unique and uncommon feminine given name of Hebrew origin. Its meaning can be translated to "joyful" or "rejoicing," which is derived from the Hebrew word "l'netta." The name Lenetta is believed to have been coined in the late 19th century by American author Louisa May Alcott, who used it in her novel "An Old-fashioned Girl."
