Violette Family History
Violette Name Meaning
French: perhaps a topographic name from a diminutive of viol
‘path’, itself a derivative of vie ‘way’. It is more likely,
however, that this name is from the secondary surname
Laviolette ‘the violet (flower)’, which was common among
soldiers in French Canada.
