ArchivesRe: My Name- Novlette
in reply to a message by Novlette
What is your ethnic background? I haven't heard of your name before, and if it wasn't because you mention three others by the same name, I would have thought that it was literally unique, i.e. made up by your parents. Don't your parents have something to say about what your name means, since they are the ones who picked it?

I concur, and...
Well, what Tue said . . . and also, on a purely guessing basis, "Novlette" sounds like it might be somehow related to novus/nova, Latin for "new." It could even be from the word novelette, which also comes from novus; either way, it would mean "new."
Anyway, whoever named you is likely to have the most insight. :)

Actually...
...it could be a manufactured name meaning "new little girl". A composite of "nova" for "new", "let" for little and "ette" for femininity! Makes sense to me.
