- Origins Available:
 Spain This Spanish and Portugese topographic name Canete meant 'one who dwelt on a patch of stoney ground, or near a quarrey'. It was also a metonymic occupational name for a quarry man or mason, originally rendered in the Latin form "Cantus" (the rim or edge of a wheel). Alternatively, the name could have been a local name, derived from the name of the place where the first person who brought it lived or had land. From the point of view of its etymology, this ancient word means "extremity or side", "tip or corner". From this information we can deduce that the first bearer of this surname probably lived near a quarry or in a fairly rocky place.
