Rubette is English in Origin.

Rubette is a modern, French-styled diminutive built on Ruby, the gemstone name. Its second element, -ette, is the French suffix denoting smallness or endearment, so Rubette carries the sense of “little ruby.” Ruby itself entered given-name use in the late 19th century English-speaking world, drawn from the jewel name via Old French rubi and Medieval Latin rubinus, ultimately from Latin ruber, “red.” The meaning centers on vivid red, preciousness, and radiance.

Use of Rubette has been sporadic and rare, appearing mainly in 20th- and 21st-century records as an embellished alternative to Ruby. Related forms and cognates include Ruby (English), Rubí or Rubi (Spanish), Rubina (Italian, South Asian), and the very rare French Rubis. Occasional spelling Rubetta is seen. Potential nicknames include Rue, Ru, and Etta. Rubette suits lovers of vintage chic with a modern twist.
