About Charle
Charle is a feminine name that represents a feminine variation of the classic male name Charles, which derives from the Germanic name Karl, meaning 'free man' or 'strong and manly.' This gender-crossed adaptation follows the pattern of transforming traditionally masculine names into feminine ones, though unlike Charlotte (the more common feminine form), Charle maintains much of the original name's structure. The name carries an elegant, French-inspired quality with its simple yet sophisticated sound. While relatively uncommon, Charle appeals to parents seeking a name with historical substance but a contemporary gender-flexible approach. The name maintains the strength and heritage of its origin while offering a subtle feminine twist that distinguishes it from both Charles and Charlotte.
Charle is also given to boys.
Pronounced CHAR-ul.
As of October 2026, Charle ranked #12563 in US births in 2010 SSA, peaked at #922 in 1883.
