Scarlett

Meaning

Scarlett began as an English surname derived from the medieval word for a rich red cloth, ultimately from Old French and earlier Persian roots associated with fine fabric. As a given name, it came into use much later and is linked more to the color scarlet than to an older personal-name tradition.

Origin

Fun fact

Although it feels like a modern style name, Scarlett originally spread from a word for luxury fabric before becoming popular as a first name.
