Carrie

/ˈkæri/ noun

Definition

a feminine given name, often short for Caroline

Etymology

Diminutive of Caroline, from Latin Carolus (Charles), meaning 'free man'

Kelly Says

Carrie might sound sweet and simple, but it traces back to 'Charles' meaning 'free man' - so every Carrie carries the essence of freedom in her name! Stephen King's novel 'Carrie' made this name synonymous with telekinetic terror for many people.
