conjures Up visions OF a sim chic

smile. The very sound OF the name
seems TO preclude any relationship
with demure Anne. but they have a
common origin in the Hebrew word

The name from which Annette was
evolved was first used in France
after a supposed appearance OF the
Auray in Brittany and first gained
vogue as a feminine name through the
Bretonne heiress, twice queen OF
France. Its popularity in court cir
cles insured its widespread usage
among all classes IN France.

her origin is discovered in the

Curiously. the meaning OF the name is
translated as man" and Carries

most universally masculine names.
The various Charles and Carts who
figure in English and Teutonic his

Carrie was evolved in English after
Charlet had been brought there by the

La Tremouille into which the daugh-
ter OF the unfortunate Charlotte
