Deep red; seller of rich cloth
A French-influenced spelling of the English name Scarlett, originally an occupational surname for someone who sold 'scarlet,' a high-quality wool cloth. The color association shifted from the fabric type to the vivid red hue over time. This double-t-e ending adds a touch of French flair to the more common English version.
