The name Carlton is derived from Old Norse "karl," meaning "common man, peasant," and Old English "t?n," meaning "settlement." Originally, it referred to a place name indicating a settlement of free men. Over time, the name has evolved to be both a surname and a given name, symbolizing freedom and nobility. In the past, it was particularly popular in the early 1990s, but its usage has declined since then. Despite this, the name remains unique and special, evoking a sense of elegance and strength of character.
