Carter

Carter, originally used as a surname, has started to grow in popularity as a first name. This name comes from ‘caret’, the Old French word which means 'a carrier'. In the Middle Ages, a carrier was a person who transported important goods to and from the marketplace in a cart. In older times, people were named after their job, hence anybody who worked as a carter would have the name Carter. They also helped tax officials, as they kept track of the riches and possessions that belonged to the people that they worked for. Carter also comes from ‘cairtear’, a Gaelic word translating to 'a backpacker' or 'a tourist'. 'Cairtear' finds its roots in the Latin word 'carettarius'. Thus, the meaning of Carter can be either ‘a tourist’ or ‘a person who carries goods on their wagon’.

Lucky

Carter lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
