Carol Name Details

The name Carol is derived from the masculine name Karl, which means 'free man' or 'man'. It gained popularity as a feminine name in the mid-20th century, particularly associated with the Christmas carol 'Silent Night' due to the English variant of the original German carol titled 'Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht'. Carol has since become a unisex name commonly used for both boys and girls.
