Charleta is a unique and distinctive female given name of American origin. Derived from the Latin word 'carolus', meaning 'strong' or 'freeholder', Charleta was popularized in the United States during the 20th century, likely as a variant of the name Charlotte. The name Charleta has been used sparingly over time but is not completely uncommon, appearing occasionally in birth records and public records from various regions across the U.S. It is often associated with individuals born between the mid-1940s and late 1960s, reflecting its popularity during this period. Despite being relatively rare compared to more common names like Charlotte or Charlene, Charleta retains a certain charm and individuality that sets it apart from other names sharing similar origins or meanings.
The name Charleta had a consistent presence with six births each in 1962 and 1963, followed by a dip to five births in 1971, then increasing again to seven births in 1972 before returning to six in 1974. Overall, there were thirty Charletas born between these years.
