Carlann is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin. It is composed of two elements: 'Carla', which means 'strength' or 'free man', and 'Ann', derived from the Latin name Anna, signifying 'grace'. The combination results in a powerful yet elegant moniker that stands out while remaining accessible.
Historically, Carlann has been more prevalent in the United States than anywhere else in the world. Its usage peaked during the late 20th century but has since declined slightly, perhaps due to its lack of widespread popularity outside North America. Despite this, it remains an appealing choice for parents seeking a name that is uncommon yet not entirely unconventional.
The name Carlann lends itself well to nicknames and variations. Some popular shortened forms include Carly, Carla, or even Carl. Its uniqueness allows it to be easily personalized further by those who bear it. While its meaning might not be immediately apparent to everyone, the name Carlann carries a subtle strength and grace that can inspire and captivate.
Carlann had peak years for its usage in 1945 and 1946 with 6 and 5 births respectively, but it wasn't used again until 20 years later in 1959 with another 5 births. Overall, there were 16 babies named Carlann born between 1945 and 1959.
