Coletta is a rare and elegant female given name of Latin origin, derived from the word 'coelestis', meaning 'heavenly' or 'of the sky'. It was once quite popular in Italy during the Middle Ages but has since become less common, making it a unique choice for parents looking for an unusual yet meaningful name for their daughter. Coletta is often associated with the celestial theme due to its etymology and can be shortened to the pet forms Cloe or Lettie.
The name Coletta experienced varying popularity over the years, with significant fluctuations in birth numbers. Between 1889 and 1945, there were periods of increased births, notably reaching a peak of 53 in 1916. However, from 1946 onwards, the number of annual births began to decline steadily, dipping below 10 births per year consistently since 2000. The total number of births recorded over this period is 2368.
