Karole
Karole Origin and Meaning
Karole is a feminine name, an alternate spelling of Carol or Carole, ultimately derived from the Germanic male name Karl, meaning 'free man' or 'strong.' This spelling variation gives the traditional name a distinctive touch while maintaining its classic sound. Karole peaked in popularity in the mid-20th century alongside other Carol variants. The name carries musical associations through Christmas carols and the traditional songs called 'caroles' in medieval times. Though less common than Carol or Carole, the 'K' spelling adds a modern twist to this vintage name. Karole shares the warm, friendly quality of its variants while offering a slightly more unique option. The name works well internationally and offers the nickname possibilities of Kari or Kara.
