What is the meaning of the name Krali ?

Krali is Slavic in Origin.

Krali is a rare given name from the South Slavic kral-/kralj “king,” ultimately derived from Latin Carolus through the legacy of Charlemagne. In Bulgarian and Macedonian epic songs the honorific Krali precedes the hero Marko, cementing royal and heroic overtones. Used occasionally in the Balkans and among diaspora families, it is chiefly masculine but sometimes chosen as a modern unisex option.

Meaning: “king; royal.” Close relatives and cognates include Kral (Bulgarian/Slavic), Kralj (Serbo-Croatian), Král (Czech), and Król (Polish); feminine counterparts appear as Kralica/Kraljica or Turkish Kraliçe “queen.” Surnominal offshoots such as Kralev/Kralov also occur. With no direct biblical or saintly association, Krali reads contemporary and bold while quietly referencing a deep pan-Slavic naming layer. As a personal name, its documented use grows in the late 20th century alongside concise, title-based names.
