Vannet Family History

Vannet Surname Meaning

Reduced form of Vannand of uncertain origin. Black thinks it unlikely to be from Gaelic (Mac)Mhannain.

There is an Irish name Vannan from Ó Fionnáin (see Fanning), a name which Black notes as occurring in SW Scotland in the form Finnan (see Finan).

This is probably not the source of Vannand in E Scotland.
