Nicolet is a unique and elegant given name of French origin, derived from the masculine given name Nicolas. It was traditionally bestowed upon females as a variant form, contributing to its distinctiveness. The name Nicolet is composed of two elements: 'Nicol-' which comes from the Latin 'Nicolaus', meaning 'victory of the people'; and '-let' which is a French diminutive suffix. This suffix transforms Nicolet into a charming and playful iteration of Nicolas, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a less common yet equally beautiful name for their daughter. The name Nicolet is also associated with Nicolet, Wisconsin, a city in the United States named after early French settlers who bore this name, further solidifying its cultural significance.
"The name Nicolet experienced a significant rise and fall over the years, peaking with 13 births in 1991 before gradually declining to as low as 5 births in some recent years."
