What is the meaning of the name Odelette ?

The baby name Odelette is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced French approx. /od.lɛt/ (od-LET); English approx. /oʊdəˈlɛt/ (oh-də-LET).

Odelette is French in Origin.

A French feminine given name, Odelette is an elaborated diminutive built on Odette, itself from medieval Odet/Odo and ultimately the Old High German element aud/ōd, meaning “wealth, prosperity; heritage.” The form also overlaps with the French common noun odelette, “little ode,” so the name carries a subtle literary perfume in French, evoking brief lyrical poems.

Its use is rare but attested in France and francophone communities from the late 19th century, when medieval and poetic revivals encouraged creative -ette forms. Related and variant forms include Odette, Odile/Odilia (the Alsatian saint’s name), Odele, Odelie, and Odelia; cognates connect to Otto and Odo. Meanings cluster around prosperity and ancestral wealth, with a graceful secondary sense of “little ode” - making Odelette both storied and delicately artistic.
