Meaning & origin
Charlottie, a delicate elaboration of Charlotte, enjoyed its brief moment in the late 19th century, peaking in 1887 with its highest recorded usage. The name never entered the top 1000 and faded quickly, though it retains a vintage charm. As a diminutive form, it shares the 'free man' meaning of Charles, but its rarity means it has no associated top states or notable bearers. For parents drawn to antique revivals, Charlottie offers a more ornate alternative to Lottie or Charlie, without the commonness of Charlotte.
Charlottie is a variant or diminutive of Charlotte, the French feminine form of Charles, ultimately from the Germanic element *karlaz* meaning 'free man'. The name saw some use in the late 19th century, particularly in the 1880s, but never achieved widespread popularity.
