History & Origin

Nicolett is a variant spelling of Nicolette, the French feminine diminutive of Nicholas. The source name, Greek Nikolaos, unites nike, 'victory,' with laos, 'people.' By trimming the silent final e, Nicolett keeps the elegant French sound and its 'victory of the people' meaning while looking a touch more streamlined. The spelling has always been rare.

Nicolett appears for American girls mainly around nineteen-eighty-nine, given to only about fifteen a year at its peak and never common. A girl named Nicolett then would be in her mid-thirties today.

Did you know? Nicolett simply drops the final e from Nicolette, the dainty French feminine of Nicholas, whose Greek root literally means 'victory of the people.'
