VERNANT Meaning and Definition

  1. Vernant is a term that can refer to multiple meanings, including a surname and a specific linguistic category. As a surname, Vernant is of French origin and typically derives from the geographical region of Vernet or Vernay in France. It is a fairly uncommon surname that may be found in various French-speaking countries or among individuals of French descent.

    In another context, Vernant is associated with the linguistic category known as "vernal" or pertaining to springtime. Vernal is derived from the Latin word "ver," meaning spring.
