History & Origin

Lovette is a feminine spelling of the surname Lovett, from the Old French louvet, a wolf cub, once a byname for a fierce or wolflike person. Used as a girl's first name in mid-century America, it borrowed appeal from the English word love, though its true root is the little wolf. We keep that honest distinction.

Lovette was never common, given to only a handful of girls a year around the mid nineteen-sixties, with a thin trail. A woman named Lovette from that time would be in her fifties or sixties today.

Did you know? Despite its tender sound, Lovette traces to the Old French for a little wolf, not to the English word love, though the resemblance surely helped it as a girl's name.
