Carol

A Dictionary of First Names | 2006 | | Â© A Dictionary of First Names 2006, originally published by Oxford University Press 2006. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Carol ♀, originally ♂ Anglicized form of Carolus (see Charles), or of its feminine derivative Carola. It has never been common as a boy's name, and has become even less so since its growth in popularity as a girl's name. This seems to be of relatively recent origin (not being found much before the end of the 19th century). It probably originated as a short form of Caroline.
