Ginette is a French diminutive of Virginie or Genevive, though it is most commonly associated with the name Jane. It gained popularity in France during the mid-20th century as a sweet, rhythmic variation of classic names. In an English-speaking context, it functions as a rare, vintage alternative to Jeanette.
