Chuckie

Chuckie is an English pet form and diminutive of Charles, which derives from the Germanic name Karl, rooted in an old Germanic word meaning man or free man. The name Charles gained widespread use across Europe largely through the fame of Charlemagne, the eighth-century Frankish emperor, and later through numerous kings and nobles. Chuckie developed as an affectionate nursery or informal variant of Chuck, itself an established American English nickname for Charles. Related forms include Charlie, Carl, Karl, and Carlos.
