What is the meaning of the name Eliette ?

The baby name Eliette is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced French: /e.li.ɛt/ (eh-lee-ET); English: /ˌɛliˈɛt/ (eh-lee-ET).

Eliette is French in Origin.

Eliette is a French feminine given name formed with the -ette diminutive, most often from Élie (the French form of Elijah), ultimately from Hebrew ‘Eliyahu’, “Yahweh is my God.” Some families also treat it as a pet form of Élisabeth, which would yield the meaning “God is my oath.” Spellings include Éliette (with accent), Eliette (without), and occasional Anglicized Elliette/Elliotte; in Portuguese, the related Eliete appears.

Documented in France since the early 1900s, the name has seen modest, steady use across francophone Europe and Quebec, prized for its light, vintage sound. Public figures such as novelist Eliette Abécassis and Eliette von Karajan have kept it visible. Outside French-speaking regions it remains uncommon, sometimes mistaken for the surname-based Elliott. Friendly short forms include Elie, Lili, and Liette.
