Charlah is a modern English feminine given name, a stylistic respelling of Charla, itself a derivative of Charles/Charlotte. Charles derives from the Germanic Karl meaning "free man," so Charlah carries the sense of "free person" or "free woman." The final -h echoes biblical feminine endings (e.g., Sarah, Hannah) and lends a softer visual balance without altering pronunciation (CHAR-luh).

Related forms include Charlotte, Charlene, Charlize, and Carla; closer variants are Charla and Sharla. Possible nicknames are Char and Charlie. Charlah offers familiar roots with a distinctive modern twist. Usage remains sporadic in English-speaking countries and seldom appears in official statistics.
