Did you know?
- While Картер is a name, the lowercase картер refers to a mechanical gear-case. This technical term entered the Russian language via the brand name created by British engineer John Harrison Carter.
- The transcription Картер uses the Cyrillic letter р, which is a trilled or tapped sound. This makes the 'r' in the Russian version sound more vibrant than the 'r' in the English pronunciation of the name.
- The English surname 'Carter' originally described a 'cart driver', but the Russian name Картер carries no such semantic connection to carts or driving.
