Paulot is French in Origin.

Paulot is a French diminutive of Paul, built with the affectionate suffix -ot common in Old and Middle French (compare Pierrot or Charlot). Ultimately it stems from Latin Paulus, meaning “small” or “humble,” a sense that underlies many European forms of the name thanks to the influence of Saint Paul the Apostle.

As a given name, Paulot appears in French-speaking records as a pet form that sometimes solidified into an independent baptismal name and, not uncommonly, a hereditary surname. It remains rare today but can surface in Francophone communities as a vintage alternative to Paul. Related forms include Paul; Paulet and Poulot (regional French diminutives); Paulo (Portuguese), Paolo (Italian), Pablo (Spanish), Pau (Catalan), Pavel (Slavic), Pál/Pål (Hungarian/Scandinavian), and Pól (Irish). Feminine counterparts are Paulette and Pauline, while Paolino, Pauli/Pauly, and the -ot ending reflect the same diminutive pattern.
