Cartar is in Origin.

Cartar is a modern given-name spelling derived from the English occupational surname Carter, which denoted a person who hauled goods by cart. The surname arose in medieval England from Anglo-Norman French charretier and Middle English cart, with early records showing le Carter and occasional variants like Cartar. As surnames began to be used as first names in the 19th and 20th centuries, Carter entered regular given-name use; Cartar appears as a rarer, stylized form.

Meaning centers on “transporter” or “carter,” evoking industrious imagery. Variants and related spellings include Carter (standard) and Karter (American respelling). Though phonetically similar, Kartar in Punjabi/Sanskrit is unrelated and means “Creator,” a divine epithet. Cartar today reads unisex but leans masculine in English-speaking countries, aligning with the modern fashion for occupational surnames as first names.
