Karolin is a feminine given name of Germanic origin, derived from the elements 'caro' meaning strong, and 'lin' meaning linen or flax. It is a variant spelling of Carolina, which has been used throughout history, notably by queens such as Carolina of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel who became queen consort to King George IV of the United Kingdom. The name Karolin gained popularity in Scandinavia during the 20th century and has since been widely used across Europe and beyond. It is often associated with individuals who are independent, strong-willed, and creative. However, it is important to note that names do not define their bearers and each person is unique regardless of their name.
"The name Karolin was given to eight girls born in 1994 and another seven in 2008."
