Karl is a deeply traditional masculine name derived from the Old High German word for "man" or "freeman." Although less common than Charles in the USA, it maintains a significant presence, especially within communities with strong Northern or Central European heritage. Historically, the name has been used by royalty and nobility, lending it a serious and classic gravitas.
