The sublette Surname
sublette Name Meaning and History
French: the usual spelling in North America of Sublet
‘whistler’, from Old French sublet ‘whistle’, ‘hiss’ (from the
verb subler, sibler), hence a nickname for someone who
was able to whistle in imitation of birdsong, to attract and catch
birds. The spelling -ette is not a feminine form, but a
spelling prompted by the continuing pronunciation of final -t
in American French surnames after it had become silent in European
French.
