History & Origin

Adalette is a modern coinage: Ada, from a Germanic element read as 'noble,' with the French diminutive -ette seen in Colette, Juliette and Yvette. The result is a name with a vintage-French flavor but a recent history, and the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'ad-uh-LET').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, dainty, and modern.

Did you know? The -ette ending is French for 'little' — so Adalette reads almost as 'little Ada,' though the name itself is a modern coinage, and the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'ad-uh-LET').
