Name Meaning

English: variant of Duckett with voicing of the medial consonant. Alternatively, the name may also be from a Middle English rhyming pet form of Roger (see Dodge ) + the diminutive suffix -et. But whether the medial -g- was pronounced as a stop /g/ (as in dog) or an affricate /dʒ/ (as in Roger) is impossible to tell.
