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 English ceorl (a man, freeman, peasant). It is a royal name, being borne by ten kings of France as well as by kings of Hungary, Naples, Sardinia, and Wiirttemberg. It was introduced to Great Britain 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, furthering the name's popularity. Currently, the name is borne by Prince Charles, the duke of Wales (b. 1948) and heir to the British throne. Siarl is a popular Welsh form of the name |
