Scarlette

Spelling variation of Scarlett
"brilliant red"

Scarlette Origin and Meaning

The name Scarlette is a girl's name meaning "brilliant red".

Although we think Scarlett is plenty feminine enough without the girly -ette suffix, this variation entered the US Top 1000 in 2011, where it remained for more than a decade. In 2023, it dropped off the list, however, it was still given to 240 girls that same year.

The traditional Scarlett is used 26 times more often its more elaborate counterpart, but Scarlette could could have the plus side of drawing people's eyes away from the "Scar" syllable and onto the second part of the name. For anyone hoping to use nickname Lettie, Ettie, or Etta - or plan to use it to honor a Charlotte - this form could be more appealing.

TV presenter, property expert, and dancer Scarlette Douglas is one bearer of the name.
