Carlotte is French, Germanic in Origin.
Carlotte is a rare, streamlined variant of Charlotte, itself the French feminine diminutive of Charles, from the Germanic root Karl meaning free man or free person. The form likely arose by analogical influence from Carla and Lotte, common short forms in Germanic and Scandinavian languages, while retaining the same core meaning of personal freedom.
Where Charlotte has long royal and literary pedigree - think Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, and numerous European princesses - Carlotte appears sporadically in late 20th- and 21st-century records, especially in parts of Scandinavia and the Low Countries, and among English speakers seeking a distinctive spelling. International variants include Charlotte, Charlotta, Carlota, Carlotta, and Caroline/Carolina; related nicknames are Lotte, Lotta, Lottie, Charlie, and Lola. Masculine cognates are Karl, Carl, and Charles.
Carlotte is rarely chosen. In all, it turns up just 26 times, across 10 countries.
