Omelettes had then been made in France for two or three hundred years, and it is from French that we get their name.
It has a complex history: it probably started out as lamella, a diminutive of lamina 'thin plate'; this was borrowed into French, but by a misanalysis of la lemele...it became alemelle or alumelle. It seems this must at some point have had the common suffix -ette substituted for -elle, and the resulting alemette then had its first two consonants transposed...to give amelette. The word has had a variety of spellings in English, including amulet in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and emlett in the seventeenth century, and there iss till some variation: omelette is now the generally preferred form in British English, but the Oxford English Dictionary gave omelet precedence in 1902, and this is still the main American spelling." ---An A-Z of Food and Drink, John Ayto [Oxford University Press:Oxford] 2002 (p. 232)
