Spanish origin
“A brief, striking name with Spanish or Basque undertones, Charo emerged as a given name partly through the fame of Cháro, the Spanish entertainer known for flamenco guitar and her catchphrase 'cuchi-cuchi.' The name carries a playful, spirited quality and international flair. Its brevity and distinctiveness have made it appealing to parents seeking something memorable and bold.”
