hmmmmChecking in y baby names dictionary (whichis rather poor, but still)
it says Carol as french for joyous song
i looked up carol in french, it says 'chant'
but i dont have my good french dictionary with me right now
what about carol being from the english word "carol" as well
so the name could be song too?
Anyone thoughts?

Just wondered if Carole with an `E` had different meaning to carol. It really annoys me when ppl write it Carol,My name is carolE LOL

I just figured it went by the phonics rule that says if a vowel/consonant pair is followed by an E, the vowel has the long sound. (Says it's name.) I.E.: Hat, hate; ton, tone; Dan, Dane; van, vane; rid, ride; sit, site; tub, tube; other examples: area, garish.
