This meaning of ceorl contrasts with eorl (Old Norse jarl) 'nobleman' on one hand and with þeow (Old Norse þræll) 'bondsman, slave' on the other. The name is atypical for Germanic names as it is not composed of two elements, but simply a noun meaning '(free) man'. Examples are the Slovene politician Karel Dežman (1821–1889), also known as Dragotin Dežman, and the Slovene historian Dragotin Lončar (1876–1954), baptized Carl. This is based on the false etymology deriving Carl from Latin carus 'dear'. In some Slavic languages, the name Drago (and variants: Dragomir, Dragoslav, etc., all based on the root drag 'dear') has been used as an equivalent for Charles ( Karel, etc.). In the form Charles, the initial spelling ch- corresponds to the palatalization of the Latin group ca- to in Central Old French ( Francien) and the final -s to the former subjective case (cas sujet) of masculine names in Old French like in Giles or James (< Latin -us, see Spanish/ Portuguese Carlos).Īccording to Julius Pokorny, the historical linguist and Indo-Europeanist, the root meaning of Charles is 'old man', from Indo-European * ĝer-, where the ĝ is a palatal consonant, meaning 'to rub to be old grain.' An old man has been worn away and is now grey with age. In the particular case of Dutch, Karel refers to the given name, whereas the noun kerel means 'a bloke, fellow, man'. Some Germanic languages, for example Dutch and German, have retained the word in two separate senses. The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun *karilaz meaning 'free man', which survives in English as churl (< Old English ċeorl), which developed its deprecating sense in the Middle English period.

The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as Karolus (as in Vita Karoli Magni), later also as Carolus. The Old English descendant of this word was Ċearl or Ċeorl, as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England.

It is from the French form Charles of the Proto-Germanic name ᚲᚨᚱᛁᛚᚨᛉ (in runic alphabet) or *karilaz (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was 'free man'. Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries.
