From French Charlotte in the 17th century, a female diminutive form of Charles, from Middle High German Karl, which came from the Germanic *karlaz. The civil parish is named after Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1744-1818). Coined by British-Dutch surveyor Samuel Holland.

Borrowed from French charlotte, or possibly from Middle English charlet, charlette (“dish made from eggs, meat, milk, etc.”), probably from Old French char laitée (“meat with milk”).
