[[File:Danmark Sandvika Bærum.jpg|thumb|Danes on the islet [[Danmark (islet)|Danmark]] in [[Norway]]. It is a typical Nordic [[skerry]].]]

As suggested by its origin ''islette'', an [[Old French]] [[diminutive]] of "isle",<ref>''[[Merriam-Webster|Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language, Second Edition]]'', 1958</ref> use of the term implies small size, but little attention is given to drawing an upper limit on its applicability.

The World Landforms website says, "An islet landform is generally considered to be a rock or small island that has little vegetation and cannot sustain human habitation", and further that size may vary from a few square feet to several square miles, with no specific rule pertaining to size.<ref name=lf>{{cite web | title=Islet Landforms | website=World Landforms of the Earth | url=http://worldlandforms.com/landforms/islet/ | access-date=29 April 2020}}</ref>
