Hello, all the above mentioned names have the same origin, the early known are Karl Martell in the early european history ( about perhaps the 600 years), later Carolus Magnus about 800, in french named Charlemagne, also Karol Woytila, the just died Roman catholic Pope from Poland, had the same name, and a cousin of me has the name Karoline, the princess Caroline of Monaco too.
