Charlotta is in Origin.
Charlotta is the Scandinavian and German spelling of Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles. The name goes back to the Germanic Karl, meaning “free man,” often broadened today to “free person.” The -otta ending and doubled consonant align with Swedish, Finnish, and German orthography, and parish records from the 1700s show Charlotta used alongside Charlotte as French fashion spread across northern Europe.
Usage rose in Sweden and Finland among the nobility and bourgeoisie in the late 18th and 19th centuries, frequently appearing in double names such as Anna Charlotta and Eva Charlotta; it remains familiar though less common than Charlotte. Related forms include Charlotte (French, English), Carlotta (Italian), Carlota (Spanish, Portuguese), and the Germanic spelling Karlotta; short forms and diminutives include Lotta, Lotte, Lotti, and Lottie. Noted bearers include Swedish writer Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht and U.S. activist Charlotta Bass.
