概要
- No one named Carolyn appears in the Bible, and the name has no Hebrew form or Hebrew meaning.
- Carolyn is a variant of Caroline, the French feminine of Carolus, Charles, from the Germanic Karl, “man.”
- The common meaning “free man” comes from the word’s later sense in Old Norse and Old English.
- Charles spread across Europe with Charlemagne, crowned emperor in Rome on Christmas Day 800.
- Carolyn was among the 20 most common names for American girls from 1937 to 1950 and reached 10th place in 1942.
- Two Catholic women named Karolina, Karolina Gerhardinger and Karolina Kózka, have been beatified.
