Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Dutch and French. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Nikolette (518), Nickolette (131), Nicolet (109), Nicolett (31), Nikolett (10), Nikkolette (10), Nikalette (6), Nicolete (5).
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
