Carolin

Carolin is a German and Scandinavian feminine form of Caroline, itself derived from the Latinized form Carolina of the Germanic name Karl, rooted in the Old High German element karl meaning free man or simply man. The name gained widespread use across Europe through the enduring popularity of the Carolingian dynasty and the influence of Charles I of England's queen consort Henrietta Maria, whose daughter-in-law Caroline of Ansbach brought the name to Britain. Related forms include Carolina, Karoline, Caroline, and Karolina, which appear across numerous European languages and traditions.
