Origin and meaning of Violetta
Violetta is an Italian diminutive of Viola, from the Latin viola, the violet flower: it therefore means 'little violet.' It is a delicate, springlike name that pairs a floral image with an affectionate touch. Common in Italy and, in related forms such as Violeta and Wioletta, in Spanish-speaking and Eastern European countries, it was made famous by the heroine of Verdi's La Traviata. It evokes sweetness, modesty and grace, with a musical sound that feels romantic and refined.
