Charlot
Charlot is the name given in the French-speaking countries to the character of vagrant interpreted by Charlie Chaplin in the majority of its films.
However, in English, the recurring character of Chaplin does not have a name, it is known under name “ The tramp ” (“the vagrant”) or “ The immigrating ” (“the emigrant”). These two names come from the titles of two of its films: The Tramp (1915) and The Immigrating (1917).
The titles of the short films of Chaplin, however varied enough in English, were often translated into French by using the name of Charlot followed by its trade in film: Charlot boxer , police Charlot , Charlot musician , etc
The nickname “Charlot” is often comparable itself in Charlie Chaplin: example of assimilation of a name of actor and of a character . Such a fusion made followers in the careers of movie actors.
