Karlie
Girl name · 68 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Karlie: 68 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 8 births in 2008.
A feminine form of Karl, which itself derives from the Old Norse karl meaning “free man,” Karlie emerged as a modern, stylish variant of the classic Charles line. The name rose to international prominence through American supermodel and entrepreneur Karlie Kloss, who also co-founded the coding scholarship program Kode with Klossy. While no major place is directly named after a Karlie, the root shares its etymological heritage with the many towns and cities called Charleston or Carlow. The spelling Karlie is a more contemporary alternative to the better-established Carly and Carlie, and has particularly resonated in English-speaking countries since the 1990s.
