Jillette Origin and Meaning

The name Jillette is a girl's name.

Jillette is a feminine name that emerged as an elaborate extension of Jill, which itself originated as a medieval diminutive of Gillian or Juliana, ultimately derived from the Latin 'Julius.' The distinctive '-ette' suffix adds a French-inspired feminine touch, creating a more ornate alternative to the simpler Jill. While never achieving widespread popularity, Jillette has maintained occasional usage since the mid-20th century, particularly in the United States. The name gained some recognition through association with magician Penn Jillette, though as his surname rather than first name. Jillette offers an intriguing option for parents drawn to classic Jill but seeking something more distinctive and sophisticated, combining familiar sounds with an elegant, elaborate quality that feels both vintage and unique.
