Valet and Varlet are terms for male servants.

Word history

---

In English, valet "personal man-servant" is recorded since 1567, derived from the French valet (the t being silent), an Old French variant of vaslet "man's servant," originally "squire, young man," from Gallo-Romance *vassellittus "young nobleman, squire, page," diminutive of Medieval Latin vassallus, from vassus "servant", itself from an Old Celtic root wasso- "young man, squire" (cognate of Welsh gwas "youth, servant," Breton goaz "servant, vassal, man," Irish foss "servant").

The modern use is usually short for the valet de chambre (French for 'chamber valet') described in the following section.
