Small or humble
Polette is a rare French diminutive form of Paula or Paulette. It ultimately derives from the Roman family name Paulus, which was used to denote the younger or smaller of two people with the same name. While Paulette was a mid-century favorite, Polette offers a more unique, modern-feeling twist on the classic root.
