Carlee

Carlee is an English feminine name, a variant spelling of Carley or Carly, themselves diminutive forms of Carlotta or adaptations of the Germanic name Carl, which derives from the Old High German karl, meaning free man or simply man. The name gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the twentieth century as an independent given name rather than a nickname. Related forms include Carly, Carlie, Carleigh, and the masculine Carl and Karl.
