Dutch diminutive of names ending in jette or ietteDescription:

- Scarlette
Origin:
Spelling variation of ScarlettMeaning:
"brilliant red"Description:

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.
