Clarett is a rare elaboration of the Clare/Clara family, ultimately from Latin clarus, “clear, bright, famous.” The -ett ending reflects the French diminutive -ette, seen in forms like Clarette and the Italian Claretta; the spelling without a final -e is a modern stylistic twist. The English word claret (from French clairet, “light-colored”) and the Catalan surname Claret may also color its associations, lending a subtle wine-red and surname vibe to the name.

Used only sporadically as a given name in the English-speaking world, Claret/Clarette appear in late 19th–20th-century records as word- or surname-inspired choices, while Clarett surfaces mainly in recent decades.
