Carroll Origin and Meaning

The name Carroll is a girl's name.

Carroll as a feminine name derives from the Irish surname Ó Cearbhaill, meaning 'fierce warrior' or 'champion'. Though historically used for both genders, it has more commonly been masculine in usage. As a feminine name, Carroll represents a sophisticated choice with Celtic heritage and literary associations, notably through Lewis Carroll. The name has a dignified quality while maintaining softness in pronunciation. Carroll for girls peaked in popularity in the mid-20th century and has since become less common, making it a distinctive choice today. Its traditional spelling with two R's and two L's sets it apart from variants like Carol, giving it a more formal appearance.
