Karlito is a unique and distinctive given name of Latin origin, derived from the Spanish 'Carlitos', a familiar form of Carlos. It is composed of two elements: 'Carl-' (short for Charles or Carlos) and '-ito' (a Spanish suffix used to form diminutives). This name adds a touch of playfulness and familiarity while still bearing the strength and nobility associated with its root names, Charles and Carlos.
The name Karlito had a surge in popularity between 2018 and 2019 with 10 births each year, but has since returned to levels seen around the mid-2010s.
