The English use of Carl derives from the Anglo-Saxon word churl which
means "a common person" or "a free man", which is also the original
meaning of "karl" in Old Norse. In Norse mythology, Karl was the name
of the first free peasant, the son of Rig and Amma. Rig was the human
form taken by the god Heimdall when he produced the progenitors of the
three social classes (thralls, peasants and nobility) with three
different women. In the Scandinavian languages, Karl retains its
meaning "man". In German, the origin of the name Karl can be traced to
the word Kerl which is still used to describe somewhat rough and common
men.
