Lockette is in Origin.

Lockette blends English and French roots. It likely derives from the English word locket (from Middle French loquet, latch/lock) or from the surname Locke, ultimately Old English loc meaning lock, fastening, or enclosure. The French diminutive suffix -ette adds a feminine, petite nuance, giving the sense of little lock or, by association with the pendant, a cherished keepsake worn near the heart.

As a given name, Lockette is a modern, uncommon choice, occasionally recorded in anglophone countries since the late 20th century but absent from major popularity charts. It overlaps with the surname Lockett and the noun name Locket, and has had light pop-cultural notice (for example, in the Winx Club universe). Parents are drawn to its vintage-leaning -ette cadence and themes of secrecy, protection, and memory. Variants and related forms include Locket, Lockett, and Locke; the core meaning centers on security and treasured intimacy.
