Charlton ♂ Transferred use of the surname, originally a local name from any of numerous places, mainly in southern England, named in Old English as the ‘settlement of the free peasants’, Old English ceorlatun (compare Carlton). Its use as a given name is largely as a result of the fame of the film actor Charlton Heston (b. 1924 as John Charles Carter; Charlton was his mother's maiden name).
