Scarlette

Scarlette is a modern English given name derived from the word scarlet, which itself traces back through Old French escarlate to medieval Latin scarlatum, denoting a vivid red color or a fine cloth of that hue. The word ultimately has uncertain origins, with some scholars connecting it to Persian saqirlāt. Scarlette functions as an elaborated spelling of Scarlett, with the added final e lending it a more distinctly feminine appearance. Scarlett gained widespread popularity as a given name largely through the fictional Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara in Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel Gone with the Wind.
