Jennet Definition

A pastoral name of an American ewe, lamb, or ewe ram, 'née' or 'née Jennet' is a way to follow contemporary usage in genealogical and historic records of North America and Britain when the female ancestor's maiden name is not known, but the society, such as farmers' families, commonly referred to her as 'Jennet'. This name can also be used as a pet name, nickname, or as a direct name for both male and female individuals in a variety of contexts.
