Carlie

Carlie is an English given name that arose as a feminine diminutive or variant form of Carl, which itself derives from the Old High German name Karl, meaning man or free man. The name shares its roots with Charlotte, Caroline, and Carly, all of which trace back to the same Germanic stem. Carlie is largely a modern English coinage, used predominantly in English-speaking countries, and is considered an informal or affectionate variant alongside Carly and Carley.
