A popular name throughout Europe and Great Britain, Charles is derived from the Germanic karl (full-grown, a man), which is a cognate of the Old English ceorl (a man, a freeman, a peasant). It is a royal name and was introduced to the British Isles by Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-87), who bestowed it upon her son Charles James (1566-1625). His son and grandson both ruled as King Charles. The name was also borne by Bonnie Prince Charlie, the leader of the 1745 rebellion and pretender to the throne |
