What Does the Name Violett Mean?
Violett is a variant spelling of Violet, a feminine name meaning "violet flower." Its ultimate source is Latin viola, the word for the violet plant. Latin viola passed into Old French as violette, a diminutive meaning "small violet," and from there into English as violet. The form Violett reflects German and Swedish spelling, where violett is also the adjective for the color violet. The literal sense is the flower; the color sense developed from the flower's hue and is a later, secondary meaning.
Violett Name History & Origins
The Latin word viola named the flower; the color term came from the flower, not the other way around. Old French violette is the immediate source of the English word and name Violet. The parent name Violet appears in medieval Europe, was used in Scotland by the 16th century, and became more common in England in the 19th century. Related forms include French Violette, Italian Violetta, and Spanish Violeta.
Violett is a later spelling variant, standard in German and Swedish for the color adjective. As a given name it is used in German-speaking countries and Scandinavia, where it may have been borrowed from English or French Violet or formed directly from the color word. The historical record does not clearly separate these paths, so the precise route into given-name use is uncertain. In English, Violet remains the standard spelling; Violett is the less common form.
