源自日耳曼语的名字Karl,这个名字源于日耳曼语的一个词,意思是“人”。然而,另一种理论认为,它源自日耳曼语中常见的名字元素hari,意思是“军队,战士”。这个名字在欧洲大陆的流行是由于查理大帝(742-814)的名声,他通常被称为查理曼大帝,是统治欧洲大部分地区的法兰克国王。他的祖父查尔斯·马特尔也是法兰克人的著名领袖。后来,它成了几个神圣罗马皇帝的名字,以及法国、西班牙、葡萄牙、瑞典和匈牙利国王的名字(用不同的拼写)。在查理曼大帝之后,他的名字在许多东欧语言中被采用为一个意思是“国王”的词,例如捷克语克拉勒语、匈牙利语克拉利语、俄语克拉尔语(科罗尔语)和土耳其语克拉尔语。直到17世纪斯图亚特国王查理一世提出这个名字,这个名字才在英国变得很普遍。苏格兰的玛丽女王在法国长大,把它引入斯图亚特王室。著名的同名作家包括自然主义者查尔斯·达尔文(1809-1882),他用进化论革新了生物学,小说家查尔斯·狄更斯(1812-1870)写了《远大前程》和《双城记》等作品,法国政治家查尔斯·戴高乐(1890-1970)和美国漫画家查尔斯·舒尔茨(1922-2000),花生漫画的创作者。
