Carolynne: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1977.
Carolynne is a feminine name derived from Caroline, itself the French feminine form of Charles, which traces back to the Germanic element *karlaz meaning 'free man'. Though less common than its variants Caroline and Carolyn, it has been borne by Australian film producer Carolynne Cunningham and English singer Carolynne Poole. The name shares its etymological root with places such as Charleston, South Carolina, and the Charles River in Massachusetts, both ultimately named for kings called Charles. A notable variant is the -lynne spelling, which rose in popularity during the mid-20th century as a fashionable way to soften traditionally feminine names.
