Behind the Name: Comments for the name Karl

Comments for KARL:

As a word in Swedish it means man. Common in hyphenated names such as Karl-Erik, Karl-Johan etc. Most Karls are called Kalle, although I've heard a Karl-Erik being called Kelle.

To mum2bubba: It's very common in Sweden (and probably the other Scandinavian countries).
