Etymology

Marie-Paulette combines Marie, from the Latin "Maria" (meaning "of the sea" or associated with the Virgin Mary), and Paulette, the feminine diminutive of Paul, from Latin "Paulus" (meaning "small" or "humble"). This hyphenated form emerged in French-speaking Catholic cultures as a way to honor both the Virgin Mary and Saint Paul through a single given name.

The name is primarily used in French and French-speaking Catholic communities, with particular popularity in France, Belgium, and former French colonies during the 19th and 20th centuries; it reflects the Catholic tradition of combining saints' names to invoke multiple spiritual protections.

Marie-Paulette currently ranks #2,011 in the United States as a girl's name. It reached its peak popularity around 1954.
