Sarolta is Hungarian in Origin.

Sarolta is a Hungarian feminine name with roots in the early Magyar period. Scholars connect it to Old Turkic elements likely meaning “light/fair” and “ermine/weasel,” reflecting steppe totemic symbolism. The name is attested in the 10th century through Sarolt (Sarolta), wife of Grand Prince Géza and mother of Saint Stephen I, which secured it prestige in medieval Hungary. It saw revival during 19th‑century national awakenings and remains familiar yet uncommon.

Variants include Sarolt (older form) and the loan form Charlotta; related cognates are Charlotte and Carlotta. Common Hungarian nicknames are Saci and Lotti. The name’s meaning is read two ways: from its probable Turkic roots, “fair” or “ermine/weasel”; and, through its modern equation with Charlotte, the Germanic “free person” from Karl.
