Hugette is English, Germanic in Origin.
Hugette is a French feminine given name, a diminutive of Hugues (Hugh) built with the -ette suffix. Its root is the Germanic element hug, meaning "mind, spirit, thought," a sense that also underlies English Hugh and the Romance form Hugo. The name thus evokes intellect, heart, and intention in medieval name-formation.
Though Hugette appears as a variant spelling, the standard modern form is Huguette across France and other Francophone regions. It occurs in medieval records in Burgundy and Normandy and enjoyed a strong revival between the 1920s and 1960s during the vogue for -ette names; one well-known bearer is Huguette Clark, the American heiress. Variant spellings include Huguette, Hugette, and Hughette; related masculine forms are Hugh, Hugo, Hugues, and Ugo. Possible nicknames are Guette or Guetta. Today the name is rare, lending a vintage French aura while remaining closely tied to the venerable Hugh/Hugo family.
