Cartor is in Origin.

Cartor is a modern respelling of the English surname-given name Carter, rooted in Middle English cartere and Anglo-Norman caretier/charretier, denoting a cart driver or transporter of goods; ultimately it traces to Latin carrus, "wagon." As with many occupational surnames, the meaning evokes reliability and practical service, someone who carries or conveys.

While Carter has been documented as a hereditary surname since medieval England and rose as a first name in the English-speaking world in the late 19th century, especially surging in the United States from the late 20th century onward, Cartor remains a rare, contemporary choice created for distinctive spelling without altering the sound. Variant forms and cognates include Carter and Karter; related surnames such as Charretier (French) reflect the same occupational root. Cartor is used for boys more often but works as a modern unisex option.
