History & Origin

Charlcie is a phonetic respelling of Charlsie, a feminine of Charles, whose Germanic root Karl means 'free man.' It appears in United States records from the mid eighteen-nineties and peaks around 1929, chiefly in Southern families fond of honoring a Charles through a daughter. The unusual -cie spelling reflects local pronunciation. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.

Last recorded in the late nineteen-nineties, Charlcie spans a grandmother-to-great-grandmother range and has not revived in this spelling, though the Charl- family is thriving through Charlotte and Charlie. Its soft, familiar sound and clear Charles link make it a personal way to carry a family name.

Did you know? Charlcie is one of many feminine spins on Charles — alongside Charlotte, Charlsie and Carlie — that let daughters share a father's or grandfather's name.
