Carlotta
About Carlotta
Carlotta has a large measure of finger-snapping charm and substance — despite being a not too pleasant character in The Little Mermaid. Carlotta is also the diva/prima donna in The Phantom of the Opera, and there was an Empress Carlotta of Mexico.
Carlotta (spelled with one 'T' in Spanish), has not been heard much since the 1960s — which might add to its appeal to someone looking for a more international spin on Charlotte.
Pronounced kar-LAH-tuh.
As of October 2026, Carlotta ranked #4086 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #515 in 1948.
Editor's take: The name Carlotta is a girl's name of Italian origin meaning "free man".
