Why شارلوت is spelled this way

Charlotte is spelled by its sound, and Arabic has no letter for some English sounds, so each choice below follows a rule. شارلوت starts with the letter ش, shīn. ا alif, ر rāʾ and و wāw never join the letter after them, so شارلوت always shows three small gaps.

• Charlotte is French, and its ch is said sh, so Arabic writes shīn, ش, the letter for sh. An English ch, as in Charles, takes two letters, tāʾ and shīn: our name tool writes Charles تشارلز.
• The silent -tte at the end is a single tāʾ, ت: Arabic writes only the t that is heard.
• The ar is alif and rāʾ, ار; the lo is lām and wāw, لو.
