Meaning & Story
The Italian feminine form of Carlo (Charles), from the Germanic meaning 'free man' — a grand, operatic name with regal Continental flair.
Carlotta is an opera singer's name, full of drama and passion and perfectly coiffed fur. It has the sweep of a grand Italian gesture — expressive, warm, impossible to ignore. This is the name for a female dog who knows she is magnificent and expects everyone else to notice too. The Italian connection gives it a theatrical romance that's entirely irresistible. Carlotta sashays into every room and owns it immediately.
