This name made its way into Old French as Charles, and the feminine form, Charlotte, emerged in the medieval period.

Historically, the name Charlotte has been borne by several notable figures, including Charlotte of Savoy, who became the queen consort of France in the 15th century.
The name gained further prominence with the birth of Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III of Great Britain, in the 18th century. Her influence and the cultural significance of the royal family helped to solidify the name's status in English-speaking countries.
Additionally, the name appears in various literary works, such as the character Charlotte Lucas in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," published in the early 19th century, which contributed to its resonance in English literature. Culturally, the name Charlotte has been associated with qualities such as nobility and grace, often linked to its royal connections.
The name has also been embraced in various forms across different cultures, with diminutives like Lottie and Charlie being common in English-speaking contexts.
