Johannot is a surname of French origin. It is a relatively uncommon surname and can be found primarily in France. The name is believed to be derived from the given name "Jean," a French form of "John," and the suffix "-ot," which often indicates a diminutive or familiar form.

The surname likely arose independently in different regions of France where individuals were known by the given name Jean, leading to the development of localized variants.
