Caroline

Caroline
Relating to the time of Kings Charles I and II.
Syn: Carolean
2. noun
. Borrowed in the 17th century from the form of Carolina, feminine derivative of , the equivalent of Charles, which came from Karl.

- - - gentle Sophias milk your cows, and if you ask a pretty smiling girl at a cottage door to tell you her name, the rosy lips lisp out Caroline. A great number of children, amongst the lower classes, are Carolines. That does not, however, wholly proceed from the love of the appellation; though I believe that a queen Margery or a queen Sarah would have had fewer namesakes.
