Chartreuse Origin and Meaning

The name Chartreuse is a girl's name meaning "charterhouse".

Chartreuse is the name of a French liqueur, named after the Grande Chartreuse monastery of the Carthusian Monks that produce it. The monastery was built in the Chartreuse mountains of southeastern France. Chartreuse is also familiar as a color name, a yellow-green hue that matches the color of the highest-quality liqueur.

Chartreuse certainly has potential as a name, especially for girls as it shares an initial sound with Charlotte.
