Harietta is English in Origin.

Harietta is a rare feminine given name formed as a cross between Harriet and Henrietta. Both stem from French Henriette, the feminine of Henri, ultimately from the Germanic Heimirich (heim 'home, estate' + ric 'ruler'), yielding the sense 'ruler of the home/estate.' The -etta ending reflects Romance diminutive styling familiar in English since the 17th century.

In records, Harietta appears sporadically in Britain and North America from the late 18th through 19th centuries, likely as a phonetic or ornamental spelling beside the more common Harriet and Henrietta. Today it reads as a vintage-leaning yet distinctive choice. Usual nicknames include Hattie, Hettie, Etta, Ettie, and Retta. Close variants and cognates include Harrietta, Harriette, Henrietta, and Henriette; further international forms are Enriqueta (Spanish), Enrichetta (Italian), Henrika (Scandinavian), and Henryka (Polish).
