Jannetta Vad efternamn betyder
from a feminine diminutive of Gianni a contracted form of Giovanni ‘John’. The name gave rise to a word giannetta used to translate (spinning) jenny (a machine invented in England in the 1760s) but it is not clear whether such a late adaptation of a name as a word influenced the development of an Italian surname.
