French speakers please?

[upsydupsydoo]

I have recently heard a name that I am told was French.
It's pronounced Etty-ay
I've tried Ettier and Ettiet to try and find the correct spelling, but neither are pronounced Etty-ay
Any ideas from French speakers?

Was it Etienne?

I'd guess Etienne too. I can't think of anything else obvious off the top of my head.

That's what I'm wondering, but the French speaking mother definitely pronounced it with an "a" sound at the end, like in the word "aim"

Perhaps I misheard!

Could it be e acute? Etié?

Could be ete which means summer (has accent on both e’s)

sounds like eh-teh

Perhaps! I was just curious, as it was a lovely sounding name!

Étienne Means Stephen

Male name too.

Été (summer) ?

Was the child a girl or a boy?
It could be something like Hettier

I'm really not sure re boy/girl. Too young to tell really and in gender neutral clothing. Sorry I'm being so unhelpful! I want to say girl, but I'm not sure why I got that impression!

Etienne as is St Etienne is french for Stephen lol.

Ete is summer.

My daughter is Hattie. Or 'Attie as pronounced in French.

Ete as poster posted above with the accents is pronounced Et-ay.

Tbh anything sounds better in French than Midlands here 🤣

Bona fide French person here. No kids are called été. Sounds like a trendy made up name to me, the é ending is super on trend right now. Or possibly Hétiaire which is a name but very unusual.
