Naming history
In 1551, Viceroy Juan de Vega, 1st Count of Grajal, founded a new city in honour of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, naming it with the Latin name of Carleontini (lit. 'Leontini of Carlo'). Eventually, the town came to simply be known in Sicilian as Carrintini or Carruntini which, in modern Italian, became Carlentini.
