[Opinions] Re: The major difference between this site and baby name books...(m)
actually I would think Charlotte means "woman" since it is the feminine version of Charles wouldn't it?. A woman cannot be a man so how would Charlotte still mean "man".

I don't think making it feminine would change the meaning of it. A woman can also not be Ireland, but Erin's still an acceptable name. etc

That makes me sad, I don't want Charlotte's meaning to be "man" eh. It's not pretty, lol.In my own mind it's "woman", LOL. I'm being stubborn, wah..:(

I guess it's up to interpretation. But if the meaning "man" for Charles turns into "woman" for the feminine form, then does that mean "son of--" names turn into "daughter of--" names when used on girls? :-/

I don't think it matters...both Charlotte and Charles have so much history that it creates meaning IMO
