The baby name carolee is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced KAR-ə-LEE (IPA: /ˈkærəˌli/).
carolee is English, Latin in Origin.
Carolee blends the vintage charm of Carol with the bright, breezy -lee ending. Carol is the English/French feminine form of Carolus/Charles, from the Germanic Karl meaning "free man," and it also echoes the English word carol, a joyful song. Lee comes from Old English leah, "meadow" or "clearing." Put together, Carolee can suggest "free person of the meadow" or even "joyful song in the meadow."
An American coinage, the name rose with mid-20th-century tastes for compound and -lee names, appearing in the 1930s–60s and now felt as a rare, mid-century classic. Spellings and variants include Caralee, Caralie, Caroleigh, Karolee, Karalee, and the spaced or hyphenated Carol Lee/Carol-Lee. Related forms through the Carol/Charles line are Carol, Carole, Caroline, Carolina, Carla, and Karola; modern cousins include Charlee and Carlee. Nicknames span Caro, Carrie, Carly, and Lee.
