What is the meaning of the name Quiritte ?

The baby name Quiritte is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced {'English': '/kwɪˈrɪt/ (KWIH-rit)', 'French': '/ki.ʁit/ (kee-REET)'}.

Quiritte is Latin in Origin.

Quiritte is a rare feminine given name with a French -ette profile, ultimately derived from the Latin/Sabine theonym Quirinus, source of Quirin and Quirine. Scholars connect Quirinus either with curis “spear” or with Quirites “Roman citizens,” yielding meanings such as “spear-bearer” or “of the citizens.” The form likely emerged as a modern, French-influenced elaboration of Quirine/Quirina.

As a forename it is scarcely attested before the late 20th century and surfaces sporadically in Francophone and Low Countries records, sometimes echoing the French surname Quiritte. Related forms include Quirine, Quirina, and the masculine Quirin/Quirinus; rarer spellings are Quirite or Quiritt. Possible nicknames are Quiri, Ritte, or Riri. Connections to several saints named Quirinus lend the root historical gravitas, while Quiritte itself remains a distinctive, contemporary choice.
