Charlese is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin. It is an alternate spelling of the classic name Charles, which means "free man" or "strong". This variation lends it a modern twist while still retaining its classic roots. Charlese is often associated with strength, independence, and charm, qualities that are commonly attributed to those named Charles. However, as with any name, individual personalities can vary greatly regardless of their moniker. It's not clear whether this name has gained significant popularity in recent years, but it's possible that its unique spelling could make it appealing to parents looking for something different yet familiar.
The name Charlese experienced a significant surge in popularity between the late 1980s and early 1990s, with peaks of 20 births in 1990 and 18 births in 1992. However, it appears to have fallen out of favor since then, with the highest number of births after that period being 13 in both 2005 and 2014. Overall, from 1953 to 2018, there were a total of 479 babies named Charlese born annually.
