Locketta is English in Origin.

Locketta is a modern English feminine given name fashioned by attaching the Italianate suffix -etta to Locket, the English word for a small pendant case. Locket ultimately traces to Middle French loquet “small lock, latch,” aligning it with the idea of something precious kept safely. As a given name, Locketta therefore carries meanings such as “little locket” or, by extension, “keeper of memories” and “secret treasure,” evoking Victorian keepsake culture and intimate remembrance.

Usage is extremely rare and recent, appearing mainly in Anglophone communities as a creative coinage; it does not appear in major rankings. Some also read Locketta as a feminized spin on the English surname Lockett, offering a surname-style alternative. Variants include Lockette, Locket, and Lockett; nicknames might be Lettie or Etta. Its novelty and soft cadence place it with elaborated -etta forms like Rosetta and Violetta.
