Charolet is of French origin, derived from the Germanic elements 'char' meaning 'strong,' and 'hilt' meaning 'helm' or 'helmet.' It evolved over time through various forms such as Carolus, Carolinus, and Carol, eventually becoming Charolet. This name was popular among the nobility in medieval France but is now quite rare.
Charolet is quite uncommon, with only a handful of babies named Charolet each year between 1946 and 1952. The years with the most Charolets born were 1950 and 1952, with six each time. Altogether, there were twenty-two children named Charolet during these seven years.
