Carrol
About Carrol
Carrol is a feminine name with Irish and English origins, though it can also be used for males. Derived from the surnames Carroll or Carrell, it ultimately comes from the Irish Cearbhal, meaning 'fierce in battle' or 'champion.' The name gained moderate popularity in the mid-20th century but has since become less common. Carrol evokes a sense of vintage charm and simplicity. It shares roots with the more familiar Carol, but the double 'r' spelling gives it a distinctive touch. The name also has connections to Christmas traditions through carol singing, adding a festive association for some. Carrol remains an understated choice that balances traditional roots with uncommon status.
Pronounced KAR-ul.
As of October 2026, Carrol ranked #15877 in US births in 2002 SSA, peaked at #533 in 1943.
