Lovette is English in Origin.

Lovette stems from the Anglo-Norman surname Lovett, itself from Old French louvet, “wolf cub” (from loup, “wolf,” + the diminutive -et). The Lovett/Lovet family name arrived in England with the Normans and appears in medieval records; Lovette later emerged as a feminine given-name spelling shaped by the French -ette ending and, secondarily, by the English word love, which lends it a gentle, affectionate aura.

As a first name, Lovette has been used sporadically in the English-speaking world since the late 19th century, with small pockets of 20th‑century American usage; it remains rare today. Traditional meaning: “little wolf.” Contemporary, folk interpretation: “little love.” Variants and related forms include Lovett (unisex, surname-first), Lovetta and Loveta; diminutives Lovie/Lovey are common nicknames. Cognate surnames include Louvet, underscoring the name’s Norman French roots and lupine imagery.
