The name John Carter is of American origin, stemming from the popular literary character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in his 'Barsoom' series. The character, an American Civil War veteran transported to Mars, is named after two distinct characters: John, a common English given name meaning 'God is gracious,' and Carter, an occupational surname referring to one who transports goods via cart. This unique combination has led to its adoption as a distinctive given name in modern times.
Johncarter was given to 5 babies in total between 2010 and 2019, with no other recorded instances of this name's usage during that period.
