King Charles is a unique and regal given name of English origin, derived from the combination of 'King' and 'Charles'. It gained prominence through its association with various monarchs in history, most notably King Charles I of England (1625-1649) and more recently, His Majesty King Charles III, who ascended to the throne in 2022 following the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. The name Charles itself is derived from the Germanic element 'karl', meaning 'free man' or 'strong'. Thus, King Charles can be interpreted as 'king who is free' or 'king who is strong', embodying qualities of power and independence.
The annual birth count fluctuated over these years, with a slight increase from 2014 to 2016.
