from the personal name Pa(s)quet, a pet form of
Pascal.from Old French pacquet ‘bundle (of
faggots)’, a diminutive of paque ‘parcel’, hence a metonymic
occupational name for a gatherer or seller of firewood or kindling. In
North America, spellings of surnames in -ette are not normally
feminine, but reflects the practice of sounding the final -t,
which is not the usual practice in European French.
