Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Skarlet je pravopisne prispôsobená podoba anglického mena Scarlett. To pochádza z priezviska súvisiaceho so stredoanglickým scarlet, označením drahej tkaniny, prevzatým zo starofrancúzskeho escarlate. Priezvisko mohlo označovať výrobcu alebo predajcu takýchto látok. Dnešný význam anglického scarlet je „šarlátový, jasne červený“. Vzdialenejší pôvod pomenovania tkaniny nie je jednoznačne vyriešený; status verified sa vzťahuje na anglický pôvod mena.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Pôvod a literárna súvislosť: Behind the Name – Scarlett, s odkazom na Reaneyho a Wilsonov slovník anglických priezvisk. Anglické podoby: Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries – Scarlett. Nesklonnosť je aplikáciou všeobecného pravidla pre cudzie ženské mená zakončené na spoluhlásku, opísaného v Slovenskej reči 2/2022, s. 72. Medzinárodné podoby predstavujú prevažne prevzatie anglického mena, nie samostatné tradičné národné ekvivalenty.
