Decarlo is Italian in Origin.
Decarlo is a modern given name derived from the Italian surname De Carlo/Di Carlo, literally “of Carlo,” a patronymic indicating lineage from a man named Carlo. Carlo is the Italian form of Charles, from the Germanic Karl, meaning “man” or “free man.” Thus Decarlo carries the sense “descendant of Carlo” or “belonging to Carlo.”
As a personal name, Decarlo arose in English-speaking contexts in the mid-20th century, especially in the United States, reflecting the vogue for surnames as first names and, in some cases, Italian-American heritage. Usage appears across diverse communities, including notable adoption in African American naming patterns. Spelling and spacing vary: DeCarlo, De Carlo, DiCarlo, and Di Carlo; related feminine forms such as DeCarla occur. Cognates tied to the Carlo/Charles root include Carlo, Carl, Karl, Carlos, and Charles.
