Charlie and Charlotte are also related to Hindi, meaning 'let's go'.
I keep seeing people state that it means "strong and womanly" and I cannot find the history for that. Can someone direct that?
A city in North Carolina bears this name.
I named my only child Charlotte Mary. 12 years later I still love the name. She has never been known as Charlie, she gets the nickname Lottie, Miss Charles or if I'm teasing her, Chuck. It's a beautiful name, feminine yet strong and suits my feisty daughter down to the ground.
Usually when I've looked up Charlotte it means small and womanly, nothing mannish like what Charles means. I have loved this name for a long time and would love to name my daughter this.
It DOES NOT mean small and womanly. It's 'man'. Charlotte is the feminine pet form of Charlot from Charles. The "man" does not necessarily denote gender either.
The name Charlotte also means "manly" and so do the names "Carlota" and "Carlotta". They are still beautiful names though and they are unique.
