Karlin is a gender-neutral name that soars alongside birds, embodying a fundamental human right by meaning "free man" or "free woman." Derived from the Middle Low German term kerle, signifying "free man," it promises that your little one will always revel in the beauty of freedom. Karlin was formerly an independent town before its merger with Prague in 1922. It was initially dedicated to Caroline Augusta of Bavaria, the fourth wife of Emperor Frances I of Austria. Drawing a modern connection, Karlin J. Lillington, an Irish technology and business journalist, has made notable contributions to publications like The Irish Times, The Guardian, and Wired.
