Bluette Origin and Meaning

The name Bluette is a girl's name meaning "little spark; a short, witty play, book, or piece of music; shade of blue".

A word name in several languages, Bluette is an arty sounding and colorful name. In French, it comes from beluette, translating to "little spark". It can then refer to a brief flash, a trace of something, an unimportant thing, or a short, straight forward novel. In Italian, it is a shade of blue, somewhere between electric and sky blue, while in English, it is occasionally used to refer to a book, a play, or a piece of music that is short, but witty and brilliant.

Bluette was quietly used in France in the early 20th century but has yet to rank anywhere else. With its similarity to Juliette and Colette, but also Truett and Blue, it might interest parents in years to come.
