An absolutely rare last name in both forms, originally from Malta, probably from Valletta. additions provided by Pasquale Carabot The name Carabot probably derives from the derogatory name given to certain French revolutionaries., consulting the records of the church of Valletta Malta, it is clear that a Carabot arrived in Malta, probably with his wife, from France and had many children. In 1800 many Carabots emigrated to Libya. Now there are several Carabots all over the world. I found Carabot in North and South America, in the Philippines, in Australia, in Malta and in England, as well as in Italy. (Editor's note) The Carabots were a group of sans-culottes created in Caen in Normandy at the time of the French Revolution. They came from the military middle class, formed themselves as an armed revolutionary group in the first days of the revolution by procuring weapons and ammunition by taking them from the casemates of the castle of Caen, assuming the functions of a real National Guard whose motto was either the Law or death. The term carabot, derogatory and disparaging, was attributed to them by the nobility, assimilating them to stragglers, enormously underestimating both the situation and the possible consequences, which French history later told us.
