What is the meaning of the name Carlot ?

The baby name Carlot is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkɑr.lɒt/ (CAR-lot) — US: /ˈkɑrlət/ (CAR-lət).

Carlot is Catalan in Origin.

Carlot is a rare regional diminutive of Charles, most plausibly rooted in Occitan/Catalan usage (compare Occitan Carlòt), and ultimately derives from the Germanic Karl “free man,” filtered through Latin Carolus and French/Italian forms. Documented more often as a surname in France and Italy, it appears sporadically as a given name in southwestern Europe and among diaspora communities, appealing today for its compact, old‑world tone.

Meaning “free man,” Carlot shares a family with Carlo (Italian), Carlos (Spanish/Portuguese), Carles (Catalan), Karl/Karel/Karol (Central and Northern Europe), and English Carl/Charles. Close cognates and diminutives include Charlot (French), Carlet (Catalan), Carluccio and Carlotto (Italian), and Carlito (Spanish). Feminine counterparts are Carlota, Carlotta, and Charlotte. Usage tends to be modest and locally flavored, with occasional modern revival as a distinctive alternative to Charles, often celebrated on the feast of St. Charles (early November).
