“Lark (the bird)”

French word for 'lark' (the bird), used as a rare given name. From Old French 'aloëte' (diminutive of 'aloe' plus the suffix '-ette'), ultimately from Latin 'alauda', borrowed from Gaulish 'alauda' meaning 'skylark'. Also known from the French-Canadian folk song 'Alouette'.

How it ages.

Very rare across every language it appears in; a charming nature word-name best known from the French-Canadian folk song rather than as an established given name.

The cultural moment.

Very rare; no national ranking recorded.
