Charlotte, of French origin, is derived from the word 'charlemagne,' meaning 'freeholder' or 'strong.' It gained prominence through Charlotte of Savoy, who became the wife of Maximilien I, Holy Roman Emperor in 1476. In England, it was introduced by Queen Charlotte, consort to King George III, further popularizing its use. The name's popularity has fluctuated over time but experienced a resurgence in the late 20th century.
"Between 1967 and 2012, there were ten girls named Charlote born."
