Babett

Babett is a feminine given name. It is a spelling variant of Babette, which itself is a diminutive form of Barbara. The name Barbara derives from the Greek Barbaros, meaning foreign or strange; Babette arose in French as a diminutive form of Barbara. The form Babett, with a single t, is a less common variant that reflects Germanic or Dutch orthographic influence.

Usage of the name is relatively rare and there is no single regional center for its use. Occurrences have been noted in some German-speaking countries and in the Netherlands, where Babette is more common but the variant Babett can appear in records and personal naming choices.

Related names include Babette, Babet, and Barbara. The spelling Babett may be chosen for stylistic reasons or to reflect family or cultural naming traditions.

Notable people with the exact spelling Babett are not widely documented in major biographical sources. In fiction, the name has appeared for various characters in literary or media works, but none with broad international recognition that would anchor a distinct encyclopedic entry.
