Nicollette is French in Origin.
Nicollette is a modern elaboration of the French given name Nicolette, the diminutive of Nicole, itself the feminine of Nicholas (Greek Nikolaos: nike "victory" + laos "people"), thus meaning "victory of the people." The -ette ending reflects French diminutive formation, connoting charm or smallness, while the double-l spelling in Nicollette emerged in English-speaking contexts to give the name a distinctive look without changing pronunciation.
Nicolette is documented in medieval France, notably in the 12th-13th century chantefable Aucassin et Nicolette, and later entered English use via French influence. Broader Anglophone adoption rose in the late 20th century; the rarer Nicollette spelling gained visibility through actress Nicollette Sheridan. International cognates and near-variants include Nicoletta (Italian), Nikoletta/Nikoleta (Hungarian, Greek, Bulgarian), and Nicolette/Nicholette in English; related forms include Colette and Nicole. Common nicknames are Nikki, Niki, Nico, Lettie, and Cole.
