Frenett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frenett is a surname, not to be confused with Frenette.
Most Frenett's currently reside in either the United States or in Rushbrooke, in the Irish Republic. A few of those from Rushbrooke have moved into home's in the London area.
A few theories as to the 'birth' of the name currently exist. The first being that the name was changed from Frenette to Frenett when a family moved from the US/Canada to the Irish Republic around the time of the Irish Potato famine.
The second theory being that, as a name, it has existed for hundreds of years, never growing hugely, and moving in its totality from location to location.
The name Frenett is mentioned briefly in many US and occasionally a UK census, but th entries have never formed a distinct pattern, leaving the reader to wonder, which entries refer to the family name Frenett, and which are mis-pellings of the family name Frenette
