Frenett is a surname, not to be confused with Frenette.

Most Frenett's currently reside in either the United States or in Rushbrooke, in Ireland. A few of those from Rushbrooke have moved into homes 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 Ireland 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[1][2][3] and occasionally a UK census,[4] 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.
