In France, it is interesting to note that Gillette was sometimes used as a woman's first name. Examples include: Gillette RAGUIER, Gillette DORMANS, Gillette de TOLLEMER.
King Camp Gillette was the inventor of the safety razor and founded the Gillette corporation. James Petty, a genealogist from Salt Lake City, did genealogical research on King Gillette's family. Sadly, there are no surviving male descendants of King or any of his brothers that could become participants in the Gillett/Gillette Surname Project. James Petty did research on King Gillette's ancestors back to the immigrant Gillette. James Petty can be reached at Heirlines Family History & Genealogy. Mr. Petty said King Gillette's ancestors spelled their name Gillett. An "E" was added to make the name look more stylish. According to Mr. Petty, this was the primary motivation among Gillett families when they added the final "E."
