Marett is French in Origin.
Marett blends two streams of origin. As a given name it aligns with Maret (Estonian) and Marit (Scandinavian), forms of Margaret from Greek Margarites, meaning “pearl.” It also matches the Channel Islands/Norman French surname Marett, documented in Jersey families and borne by anthropologist R. R. Marett (1866–1943); that surname likely developed as a medieval French diminutive of Marie or Marguerite. Together these routes make Marett usable as either a feminine form tied to Margaret or a unisex, surname-style choice.
Usage is rare but traceable in English-speaking records from the late 19th century via the surname, with modest modern revival thanks to the brisk -ett ending. Variants and related forms include Maret, Marit, Maretta, Marette, and Mariette; broader cognates are Margaret, Marguerite, and Greta. The dominant meaning across these lines is “pearl,” suggesting purity, value, and quiet radiance.
Marett is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 9 times, across 6 countries.
