History & Origin

Evelette is a modern diminutive rather than a historical name. Its base is Eve, from Hebrew Chavah ('life, living one'), or Evelyn, which descends from the Norman French Aveline, and its ending is the French suffix -ette, used to form small or affectionate words and long fashionable in names like Juliette, Colette and Nanette. The combination itself is contemporary and its route is uncertain, which we note (said 'ev-uh-LET').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, dainty, and French-flavoured.

Did you know? The -ette in Evelette is the French diminutive ending - the same one behind Juliette, Colette and Nanette, meaning simply 'little.'
