| Name Meaning: |
A borrowing from the Scottish and English, Charles is derived from the Germanic karl (full-grown, a man), which is a cognate of the Old English ceorl (a man, freeman, peasant). The name was introduced to Great Britain by Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-87), who bestowed it upon her son, Charles James. His son and grandson both ruled as King Charles, furthering the name's popularity in the British Isles. The name has been used in Ireland to Anglicize many Gaelic names. Searlas and Searlus are the Gaelic forms |
