Kollette Origin and Meaning

The name Kollette is a girl's name.

Kollette is a modern spelling variation of Colette, a feminine name with French origins. The traditional Colette derives from the name Nicholas, ultimately from Greek elements meaning 'victory of the people.' This contemporary spelling with 'K' gives the classic name a fresh, distinctive appearance while maintaining its elegant sound. Colette gained recognition through Saint Colette, a 15th-century French abbess and reformer. The variant Kollette emerged as parents sought unique spellings for traditional names, particularly rising in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. While not among the most common names, Kollette appeals to parents seeking a name with historical roots but a modern twist. The double 'l' and 'K' beginning create a visually striking name with a similar pronunciation to its traditional counterpart.
