Insights
Today, Caroline is one of the most common baby names (popularity 91/100).
It is less common today than at its historical peak.
The name Caroline is derived from the Old High German name 'Karl,' meaning 'free man.' It became popular through the Latinized form 'Carolus,' which evolved into the French 'Caroline.' The name gained prominence in England after being introduced by Queen Caroline of Ansbach, wife of King George II, in the 18th century. It has since remained a classic choice, favored for its sophistication and historical resonance.
