Harriette
Harriette Origin and Meaning
Harriette is a feminine name of Germanic origin, a diminutive form of Harriet, which itself is a feminine version of Harry or Henry. The name means 'home ruler' or 'ruler of the household,' suggesting strength and leadership. Harriette gained some popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly among the British aristocracy, but has become less common in modern times, giving it a vintage charm. The extra 'te' ending adds a touch of elegance and distinction to the classic Harriet. While not among the most popular names today, Harriette occasionally experiences small revivals as parents seek out sophisticated traditional names with historical depth. The name carries associations with notable figures like the 19th-century writer Harriette Wilson.
