Victory of the people
Colette is a French diminutive of Nicolette, which is the feminine form of Nicholas. It traces back to the Greek name Nikolaos, combining 'nike' (victory) and 'laos' (people). The name gained popularity through the 14th-century Saint Colette, who was known for her dedication to the poor.
