Vedette Origin and Meaning

The name Vedette is a girl's name of French origin meaning "star, leading actor".

Translating to "star", but used to refer to the leading female artist in a cabaret show, for French speakers, this would be like naming your child "Showgirl".

Alternatively however, it could be a form of Sanskrit Veda, combined with suffix, -ette, giving it the meaning "knowledge". Additionally, it was historically used in the military for a sentinel (often on horseback), stationed to watch for enemies. In this case, it links back to the Italian vedere meaning "to see, view".
