Guillaumette is a feminine French name derived from Guillaume, the French form of William, which has Germanic origins meaning "resolute protection" or "will helmet." This name represents the feminine diminutive form, historically given to daughters named after their fathers or grandfathers named Guillaume.

While rare in modern usage, it carries an elegant, historical quality that connects to French heritage. The name's traditional feminine suffix "-ette" adds delicacy to the strong root name. Though uncommon internationally, Guillaumette might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive French name with historical depth and aristocratic associations.
