Colett is French in Origin.
Colett is a modern, streamlined spelling of Colette (pronounced koh-LET), the French diminutive of Nicole, itself the feminine form of Nicholas. The name ultimately traces to the Greek Nikolaos (nike "victory" + laos "people"), yielding the meaning "victory of the people." As with its parent form, Colett carries a chic, continental feel while keeping a crisp, minimalist profile in English.
Use in this spelling has appeared in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries among parents seeking a less fussy take on the classic. While rare, it draws cultural depth from Saint Colette of Corbie (1381–1447), reformer of the Poor Clares, and from the celebrated French author Colette (1873–1954). Related forms and variants include Colette, Collette, Coletta (Italian), Nicolette, and Nikoletta; short forms include Cole, Lettie, and Ettie.
Colett is far from common. In all, it turns up just 45 times, across 9 countries.
