Meaning and background
The story behind Charo
Charo is a familiar Spanish diminutive of Rosario, traditionally a feminine given name. Its compact two-syllable sound may stand quite independently as a pet name, but the history of the nickname is clearer than a literal translation of it. In particular, Charo should not be labelled simply as meaning rose: its direct derivation is the longer name Rosario, whose own religious and lexical history is a separate question.
