Averette is English, French in Origin.

Averette is a rare Anglo-French surname-turned-given name, most likely a spelling and stylistic offshoot of Averett/Everett. That line traces back to Norman French Everard, from Old High German Eberhard (eber “boar” + hard “brave, hardy”), yielding the meaning “brave as a boar” or “strong, steadfast.” The -ette ending, familiar from French diminutives, lends a light, feminine finish - effectively “little Everett” - while the name itself remains suitable for any gender. Common pronunciation is AV-uh-RET.

As a given name, Averette appears sporadically in the United States, especially in the South where the related surnames are established, with occasional 19th–20th-century records and niche modern use boosted by the popularity of Avery and Everett. Variant forms and related spellings include Averett, Averitt, Averet, Everette, and Everett; farther back are Everard and Eberhard. Comparable feminized forms include Everetta and Evrette.
