Karroll is Irish in Origin.

Karroll is a modern English given name formed as a K-initial respelling of Carroll and influenced by Karol/Karl traditions. It can trace two etymological paths: from the Irish surname Ó Cearbhaill (“descendant of Cearbhall”), where Cearbhall likely derives from cearbh, “to hack or cleave,” yielding the sense “fierce in battle; warrior”; and from the pan-Germanic Karl (via Polish Karol), meaning “free man” or “man.”

As Carroll, the name has long-standing use in Ireland and the Anglophone world, familiar through figures such as Charles Carroll of Carrollton, actor Carroll O’Connor, and the pen name Lewis Carroll. Karroll itself is a rare, contemporary variant that emerged with late-20th-century creative spellings. Related forms and variants include Carroll, Carrol, Carol/Carole, Karol, Karl, Carl, Karel, and Carola/Karola; gender use varies by form and language.
