History & Origin
Charmagne is a variant of Charmaine, a name whose roots are debated, with links to the Latin carmen, 'song,' and to Shakespeare's Charmian, 'delight.' The Charmagne spelling adds a regal echo of Charlemagne. The name spread in the twentieth century partly on the strength of a popular song, and it kept a soft, melodic appeal.
Charmagne was always rare in this spelling, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1972, below the more common Charmaine. A woman named Charmagne then is in her fifties today.
