Violett is a captivating and unique given name of Slavic origin, derived from the word 'violet', which refers to the lovely violet flower. This moniker was popularized by prominent figures like Violette Szabo, a British spy during World War II, and Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess in Downtown Abbey.
The name Violett seems to have seen a significant increase in popularity from the late 20th century onwards, with a notable spike beginning around 2012. The years with the highest number of births (2022 and 2023) both exceeded 70 births each, indicating that Violett is now quite popular as a baby name. However, it's important to note that there were several decades where the name was barely used at all, with no more than six births per year from 1899 to 1927. Overall, across all recorded years, there have been a total of 822 babies named Violett.
