Carolien

Carolien is a Dutch feminine form ultimately derived from the Germanic element karl, meaning free man or simply man. It is the Dutch equivalent of Caroline, which itself developed as a Latinate feminine of Carolus, the Latin form of Charles. The name became widely used across Europe in part through the influence of royalty, including Caroline of Ansbach, queen consort of Great Britain. Related forms include Caroline, Karolien, and Karoline.
