Meaning:
Free man
Carlota is a feminine name of Italian origin, meaning “free man.” A romantic spin on its French sister name Charlotte, Carlota is an appellation that delights in little one’s zest for life and ability to look at life with wide-eyed wonder. Carlota—or Charlotte—is also a pretty prominent name for free-thinking literary characters. Think Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web, whose words of wit and wisdom encourage Wilbur to escape the farm, or Charlotte Brontë, whose finest work, Jane Eyre, inspires the strong-willed, free-spirited fervor in us all. Parents will love this name for its fresh, free-as-a-bird feel and will also enjoy as little Carlota makes their own way in the world!
