      The name Bobinette is of French origin, derived from the word bobine, which means bobbin or spindle. The diminutive suffix -ette indicates a smaller or affectionate form, thus translating to little bobbin or small spindle.

In literature, the name has occasionally appeared in works from the 19th and early 20th centuries, symbolizing a quaint and feminine quality.
