MEANING & HISTORY
What does Ranchette mean?
Collins records ranchette as a small-scale ranch and analyses the word as ranch plus -ette. The suffix makes a smaller-scale formation; the entry concerns a rural property rather than a personal characteristic.
Independent given-name-field evidence preserves the exact personal spelling. This lexical reading does not claim that the word supplied the family’s naming intention.
