Odelet is in Origin.

Odelet is a rare, French-tinged feminine name shaped by the Germanic root od/ot (also odal), meaning “wealth,” “fortune,” or “heritage.” In medieval Frankish and French naming, this element produced Odile, Odette, Odelina, and Oda. Odelet reads as a diminutive built on that same base, using the -let/-et smallness suffix, so its sense can be interpreted as “little prosperous one” or “of (good) heritage.” While recorded only sporadically in modern use, it sits comfortably beside the better-known Odette, popularized by Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and by the cult of Saint Odile.

Close variants and cognates include Odette, Odelette (a rarer French spelling), Odile, Odele, Odelina, Oda, and the nickname Odie; related masculine forms include Odo and Otto. Contemporary ears may also hear an echo of English “ode” (poem), lending a literary sheen, though that association is coincidental rather than etymological.
