Origin: German

Meaning: Free man

Karle is a masculine name of German origin. The slightest departure from Karl, it goes on to mean “free man.” Heralded as another form of Charles, feel free to pay homage to a special someone with this moniker. If nothing else, it can surely stir your little one to fight for what they believe is right. The influential philosopher Karl Marx, one of their namesakes, would certainly approve!
