Violette

Violette is a girl's baby name of French origin, the French form of Violet, from the Latin viola meaning "violet flower" — the small, purple flower that blooms in early spring, symbolizing modesty, faithfulness, and remembrance.

Violette carries the full floral elegance of French naming tradition. Its French -ette ending gives Violet a sophisticated continental twist — the difference between a garden flower and a couture garden. It has grown in the United States as parents seek something slightly more ornate than the simpler Violet.
