Kolette Origin and Meaning

The name Kolette is a girl's name.

Kolette is a feminine name that represents a modern spelling variation of Colette, which derives from the French diminutive of Nicole, ultimately stemming from the Greek 'nike' meaning 'victory.' This alternative spelling with 'K' gives the classic name a contemporary twist while maintaining its elegant French character. The name carries associations with the celebrated French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, known simply as Colette, lending it literary and cultural significance. While the traditional spelling remains more common, Kolette offers parents a way to honor French heritage while providing a slightly more distinctive option. The name has a graceful, feminine quality with its soft sounds and sophisticated European origins.
