Malet
Malet is a proper noun used primarily as a surname and occasionally as a toponym. In onomastics, the name is generally treated as of French origin, though its exact etymology is uncertain. One common hypothesis is that Malet derives from a diminutive suffix attached to a personal name, producing a form that could have indicated “little [name]” or simply served as a pet-name. Another possibility is that it originated as a toponym, referring to a person from a place named with the root Malet. The surname has historical attestations in medieval and early modern Europe and is found today in French-speaking countries and in communities with French ancestry through migration.
