Paoletta

Tender and endearing, Paoletta, a girl's name of Latin and Italian origins, will bring you back to the moment you held baby in your arms for the first time. As a variant of Paola and Paul, Paoletta derives from the Latin parvus, which means "small." As a bonus, Paoletta is a distant cousin of Paulus, a popular surname during the Roman Empire, paving the way for your little one's many successes. No matter how tall baby Paoletta may grow over the years, they will always be reminded of their humble roots that brought so much joy to your household!
