Karrie

Karrie is an English feminine name functioning as a spelling variant of Carrie, which itself began as a short form of Caroline or Carol. Those names derive ultimately from the Latin Carolus, the Latinized form of the Germanic name Karl, rooted in a word meaning man or free man. The name gained widespread use in the English-speaking world during the nineteenth century, partly through the popularity of Caroline as a royal and aristocratic name. Related forms include Carrie, Kari, and Carol.
