Carle Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. (Latin Carolus, French Charles, Italian Carlo, Spanish Carlos, German, Scandinavian Karl, Dutch Slavonic Karel); Old German carl (Old English ceorl) ‘a man’. Karl or Carl was latinized as Carolus, whence the French Charles. The great popularity of the name in France and Germany was chiefly due to the renown of the Emperor Charles the Great, or Charlemagne. Charles was introduced to England by the Normans, but did not become common, though it is occasionally found from the 12th C on often in the form Carle, and gave rise to the surnames Charles and Charlet (from a diminutive). Promptorium Parvulorum gives it as Charlys. The use of the name in the House of Stuart did something to increase its popularity amongst Royalists in the 17th C and Jacobites in the 18th C, but it was not until the 19th C that it became really common, often in the pet-form Charlie. It was hardly used in Ireland until the 17th C, when it began to be used to translate various native names such as Cathal and Catheoir.
