Nicolette

Nicolette is a feminine form of the name Nicholas, which is derived from the Greek name Nikolaos. Nikolaos is composed of the elements 'nikos' meaning 'victor' and 'laos' meaning 'people', giving it the overall meaning of 'victor of the people'.

The name Nicolette has been used throughout Europe for centuries, with variations in spelling and pronunciation across different languages and cultures. It is particularly popular in French-speaking regions, where it is often spelled as 'Nicolette'.

While the name Nicolette is undoubtedly feminine, it carries the same strong and victorious meaning as its masculine counterpart, Nicholas. This could make it an appealing choice for parents who want a name with a sense of strength and triumph for their daughter.

In recent years, Nicolette has been a moderately popular name in many English-speaking countries, though it is not as common as some other variations of Nicholas, such as Nicole or Nicola.
