Nicollette
Nicollette Origin and Meaning
Nicollette is a feminine name that serves as an elaborate variant of Nicole, which is the French feminine form of Nicholas. The name ultimately derives from Greek origins, combining "nike" (victory) and "laos" (people), meaning "victory of the people." The spelling with double 'l' and double 't' gives Nicollette a more ornate, French-inspired appearance compared to simpler forms like Nicole or Nicolette. The name gained some recognition through actress Nicollette Sheridan, known for her roles in television shows like "Desperate Housewives." While less common than Nicole, Nicollette offers a more distinctive alternative with the same foundational meaning and heritage, appealing to parents who appreciate its elegant, sophisticated sound and elaborate spelling.
