Dicarlo is Italian in Origin.

Dicarlo is an Italian patronymic formed from the preposition di, “of/from,” and the given name Carlo. It literally means “of Carlo” or “son of Carlo,” with Carlo tracing to Latin Carolus and ultimately the Germanic Karl, “free man.” As a surname it appears across Italy and in the diaspora, and today is also adopted as a given name, especially in English-speaking countries. Variants include DiCarlo, Di Carlo, DeCarlo, and De Carlo; related given names are Carlo, Carl, Charles, and Spanish Carlos.

Use as a first name grew in the late 20th century alongside the broader fashion for surname-as-given-name choices and Italian-American cultural influence. The capitalization may follow family tradition (Dicarlo vs. DiCarlo). While predominantly masculine, it can be used unisex. The name carries a heritage-rich yet contemporary feel, grounding modern style in the classic meaning of “free man” and in a clear link to an ancestor named Carlo.
