Charlz, pronounced as /'ʧɑːlz/, is a unique and modern-sounding given name of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word 'carolus', which means 'strong'. The name gained popularity in Europe during the Middle Ages, particularly due to its association with Charlemagne, the renowned Frankish king and Holy Roman Emperor. Today, Charlz is often used as a contemporary alternative to traditional names like Charles or Carl. It has been gaining traction in recent years, especially in English-speaking countries, thanks to its distinct sound and timeless meaning.
"Charlz was quite popular as a baby name in 1996, with five newborns sharing it that year."
