History & Origin
Nikolette is a respelling of Nicolette, the French diminutive of Nicole (from Nicholas, 'victory of the people'). Delicate French names ending in '-ette' had a following in the later twentieth century, and 'k'-spellings like this gave them a fresh, modern edge.
It stayed rare, given to only a few dozen girls a year at a faint high point around 1994 while Nicole and Nicolette carried more of the use. It reads as an of-the-moment spelling of a graceful French name.
