History & Origin

Solette is a modern coinage that reads naturally as 'little sun': sol, the Latin and Spanish word for the sun, plus the French diminutive -ette. It belongs beside Colette, Juliette and Nanette in sound. That reading is an obvious one, but it is not documented for the name itself, so we call the routes uncertain (said 'soh-LET').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, sunny, and softly French.

Did you know? Sol is the sun in Latin and in Spanish, and -ette is the French ending for 'little'. Solette puts them together — though whether anyone built it that way on purpose is undocumented, which we note.
