Charmin is a distinctive and uncommon given name of French origin, derived from the Latin word 'carus,' which means beloved or dear. It was traditionally used as a nickname for someone who was charming, lovable, or dear to others. The name has gained some recognition in popular culture, most notably as the brand name for a line of bathroom tissues produced by Procter & Gamble since 1928.
It seems like the name Charmin was quite popular during the late 1960s and early 1970s, with a significant spike in usage from 1967 to 1972. The highest number of babies named Charmin were born in 1972, with 51 births that year alone. However, by the late 1980s and early 1990s, the name had largely fallen out of favor, with fewer than 10 births each year from 1986 onwards. Overall, there were a total of 621 babies named Charmin between 1955 and 1991.
