Small or humble
Pauletta is a diminutive form of Paula, which itself is the feminine version of the Latin name Paulus. It carries the traditional meaning of 'small' or 'humble,' often used historically to denote a younger family member or a sense of modesty. While it was more common in the mid-20th century, it remains a rare and distinctive choice today.
