About Charleton

It began as a surname designating someone from one of the various places named Charleton or Carlton in England. As a given name, it carries an air of distinction and sophistication, perhaps influenced by notable bearers like actor Charlton Heston. The spelling variant with an 'e' gives it a slightly more formal appearance than the more common Charlton.
