The name Pollett is of Old French origin, derived from the word 'poleta', which means 'little pole' or 'small stake'. It was originally a nickname given to someone who was thin and tall like a pole, or perhaps it referred to a person who lived near a pole or stake. The name has been anglicized over time, with variations including Pollet and Pollitt.
"Interestingly, the name Polett has seen a consistent resurgence every decade since 1988, with five babies named Polett born each time."
