"Zoetta has all the elements of a pet form of Zoetta." Erm? :S
I'm not sure what you mean...So, her given name is Zoetta and I asked what it means.

I believe it was a typo.She meant "Zoetta has all the elements of a pet form of Zoe." Meaning, I suppose, that Zoetta is a diminuative of Zoe. Just because a nickname, diminuative, pet form, etc. is supplied as a "given" name does not mean it isn't still a variation of the original. Hence, Zoeatta has the same meaning as Zoe, but the ending implies that the named is a small girl.
