Origin and meaning of Carlota
Carlota is the Spanish feminine form of Charles, from the Germanic karl, 'free man'. It reached the Iberian Peninsula via the French Charlotte and spread among European royal houses, borne by Carlota of Belgium, empress of Mexico among others. An elegant, slightly retro name, it's enjoying a revival in Spain alongside other long-overlooked historical names, prized for its refined sound and regal history.
