As far as gender-neutral monikers go, Caryl makes a rather charming choice. When you see this moniker, perhaps the names Carol, Carl, and Charles come to mind. Caryl originates in Old High German from the term karl, meaning "man," and karilaz, denoting "free man." Nothing says "free man" quite like baby Caryl's power to choose their own destiny from day one!
