Carolanne is a unique and beautiful feminine given name, composed of two distinct elements: 'Carole' and 'Anne'. The name Carole is derived from the male Germanic name Carolus, which means 'freeholder' or 'strong'. Anne, on the other hand, is a Hebrew name meaning 'grace'. Thus, Carolanne can be interpreted as signifying 'gracious strength', reflecting a harmonious blend of power and elegance. This name is particularly popular in English-speaking countries and has been used consistently throughout the 20th century.
The name Carolanne saw its peak popularity between 1942 and 1957, with annual birth counts ranging from 17 to 23, except for a notable spike of 24 in 1957. However, since the late 1950s, the name's usage has declined significantly, with fewer than 20 births per year after 1965, and often even fewer than 10 births annually from the mid-1970s onwards. In recent years (2008-2018), Carolanne has been quite rare, with only a handful of births each year. Overall, over nearly nine decades (1934-2018), there have been a total of 1171 recorded births named Carolanne in the United States.
