ArchivesRe: Lonnetta (is this how it is spelled?)
in reply to a message by nomenphile
You have one possible spelling, but Lonetta is also used.
I would assume this is simply a feminine form of Lonnie or Alonzo created by adding -etta to Lon, a pet form of those names. -etta was a productive suffix of new names during the time period you indicate.
