Meaning & origin
Charolette, a less common spelling of Charlotte, peaked in popularity in 1944 and has remained rare since. In 2025, it ranked 3577th, with roughly 1 in 38,268 girls receiving the name, reflecting a stable trajectory. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1914, during a period when elaborate spellings of traditional names occasionally surfaced. Unlike the standard Charlotte, which has seen surges in popularity, Charolette has maintained a low profile, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a familiar sound with an uncommon spelling.
Charolette is a spelling variant of Charlotte, the French feminine diminutive of Charles. Charles derives from the Germanic element *karlaz* meaning 'free man'. The name Charlotte has been used in English-speaking countries since the 17th century, and the variant Charolette emerged as a less common alternative spelling in the early 20th century.
