ArchivesMeaning and origin of the name Solitaire
Solitaire is another version of Solataire, which can be a masculine name in French. It was also a popular name for male slaves in the Caribbean, and in the southern US during the 1800's.
Solitaire can be a woman's name as well. If anyone has any more information about the name, I would love to learn more. I was named Solitaire after my great-grandmother, who was born in Normandy, France. It was hell growing up with it.

Hey we have briefly spoken before as I was named after Jane Seymour ‘bond girl Solitaire’! And it was my dad who gave me the name. He’s reason was if u look up Solitaire in the dictionary it means one, on its own, hence the diamond. So to my dad it meant unique, one of a kind. And that’s what I was to him x

Crazy thing my name is Solitaire for that same reason. My parents where James Bond fans and named me Solitaire and my Sister was names Domyno after one the main characters in his movie Never say never again

I've never heard of Solitaire being used as a name. I've never heard of the name Solataire, either. Apparently it is a name, because you're named Solitaire. It sounds really, really cool (despite the teasing that could come with it).

It is certainly more flattering than Crazy-Eights! 8-P

The only occurence of it as a female name I know of is of the Bond girl in "Live and Let Die", I think. I guess in this case it makes sense that she's from the Caribbean. But I've never heard it used as a name in French speaking areas since it does mean "alone" and also designates rings with only one diamond. But I find it a cool name for a jazz vocalist.

Solitaire means "alone" or "single." I don't know anything about its history as a name.
