The name Charoite is derived from the place where it was found near the Russian river Tschara. The German name Tscharoit would actually be more correct, but this has not caught on in the retail or wholesale trade. Occasional spellings such as chaoirt, chariot, caroite, charoid or charoiet, on the other hand, are not correct.
