Erletta Origin and Meaning

The name Erletta is a girl's name.

Erletta is a feminine name that appears to be a variation or elaboration of Erla, possibly combined with the diminutive suffix '-etta.' Erla itself has Norse origins meaning 'nobly born woman' or may relate to the Old English word 'eorl' meaning 'nobleman.' Erletta is extremely rare, seeing very limited usage primarily in the early-to-mid 20th century in the United States. The name has an antique, somewhat aristocratic feel similar to names like Arletta or Erlene. The '-etta' suffix was particularly popular in the early 1900s, giving the name a vintage charm. Erletta offers a distinctive option for parents seeking an uncommon name with historical resonance.
