More Old German names
Frans
“The Dutch and Scandinavian form of Francis, from the Medieval Latin Franciscus, meaning "Frankish" or "from France" — ultimately from the Germanic Franks, the tribe whose name may derive from Old German frank, meaning "free" or from a word for their distinctive throwing axe (the francisca). The name was popularised by Saint Francis of Assisi, the 13th-century friar and founder of the Franciscan order, and spread throughout Europe. Frans is the specifically Dutch/Scandinavian variant.”
Carol
“An English feminine form of Charles, via Carolina and Carolus, from the Old High German Karl, meaning "free man." Carol also intersects with the English word carol, a joyful song (from the Old French carole, a round dance with singing, possibly from the Latin choraula, a flute player accompanying a chorus). The given name peaked as a feminine name in the English-speaking world in the 1940s–1960s. Historically it was also used as a masculine name in Romania (Carol I, Carol II).”
Karlee
“A variant spelling of Carly or Carlee, diminutive forms of Carla or Carol, themselves feminine forms of Charles. Charles derives from the Old High German Karl, meaning "free man" or "man." The Karlee spelling uses the Germanic K initial (as in Karl) and the doubled -ee ending for a more distinctive visual form. Like other K-initial variants in this family, it flourished in late 20th-century American naming.”
Gary
“Generally considered a short form of Gareth or Gerald, both ultimately from Old German names: Gareth from the Welsh adaptation of a Germanic name, and Gerald from ger ("spear") and wald ("rule"), meaning "spear ruler." Gary came into its own as an independent American name in the early 20th century, popularised partly by the city of Gary, Indiana, and further boosted by film star Gary Cooper.”
Otis
“An English surname-turned-given-name, derived from the medieval given name Ode or Oto, itself from the Old High German Odo or Otto, meaning "wealth" or "fortune." The name was brought to England by Normans after 1066. In America it gained traction as a given name in the 19th century, partly boosted by the fame of inventor Elisha Otis, who revolutionised vertical transport with the safety elevator.”
Karlie
“A modern variant of Carlie or Carly, itself a diminutive of Carla or Carol, both feminine forms of Charles. Charles derives from the Old High German Karl, meaning "free man" or "man." The spelling with K reflects a Scandinavian influence (Karl) and became fashionable in the United States in the late 20th century as a more distinctive alternative to Carly.”
