Meaning and background
The story behind Fleurette
Fleurette is recorded as a diminutive of Fleur. Its longer ending belongs to a documented relationship between personal-name forms, rather than a new compound assembled for a pet. The exact spelling may appeal when Fleur feels too short or when a family already uses it for someone else. For a dog, Fleurette can keep that name-family connection visible while allowing a household to choose its own informal short form.
