Caros is in Origin.

Caros is a rare given name with layered roots. It most commonly reads as a streamlined variant of Carlos, the Spanish and Portuguese form of Charles, from Germanic Karl meaning “free man.” It also echoes Latin Carus, “dear, beloved,” a word-name borne by a 3rd‑century Roman emperor and used in Late Antiquity. In some cases Caros may reflect the Greek surname Karos adapted as a first name, reinforcing its pan-Mediterranean feel. Pronounced KAH-ros, the name balances classical polish with modern brevity.

Usage is sporadic in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century onward, sometimes chosen as a creative twist on Carlos or as a nod to classical Latin. Related forms and cognates include Carlos, Carlo, Carles, Charles, Karl, Károly, and Carus; short forms may be Caro or Cary. Depending on the chosen lineage, Caros carries the meanings “free man” or “beloved.”
