ArchivesRe: Sette
in reply to a message by Telfalathiel
I have never heard of this and I can't find it anywhere. But my guess would be: short form of names like Lisette, Josette, Rosette, or Susette. Not typically German form, rather French, but still fairly popular in Germany.

Thanks...
A lot of my German cousins have French names, I just wasn't sure how far back the popularity of French names went in my family. The rest of her siblings are Fritz, Adam, Margaret, Jacob, Maria, Kristina, Hildegard, Herman, Anna, Helene, and Katharine. So, it would be odd, but not entirely unlikely. It's the only explanation that makes sense to me at present.
