More Old German names
Emory
“An English variant of Emery, from the Old High German Amalric, a compound of amal (a reference to the powerful Amal dynasty of the Visigoths, possibly meaning "vigour" or "work") and ric, "power" or "rule." The name was introduced to England by the Normans. Emory is the primarily American spelling, and the name is associated with Emory University in Atlanta, founded in 1836, giving it an additional register of Southern academic prestige.”
Charlie
“A diminutive of Charles, from the Old High German Karl, meaning "free man" or simply "man." Charles was a name of enormous prestige through Charlemagne (Carolus Magnus, "Charles the Great"), whose name became synonymous with kingship across medieval Europe. Charlie emerged as a warm, familiar English short form and has grown into a popular gender-neutral name in its own right across the English-speaking world.”
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).”
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.”
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.”
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.”
