      The name Carlota traces its origins back to the Spanish language and is derived from the male name Carlos, which itself is an adaptation of the Germanic name Karl. Carlota is the feminine form of Charles and signifies the feminine counterpart of this traditionally male name. The name became popular in Spain during the Middle Ages and has persisted in usage due to its association with European royalty and nobility.

She played a significant role in European politics and later became Empress of Mexico.
