Meaning: female given name (name)
Did you know?
- The small ャ in キャ is a 'yōon' character, which shrinks the following vowel to create a single blended sound rather than two separate syllables.
- The sound 'L' does not exist in Japanese, so the 'l' in Carolyn is replaced by the Japanese 'r', which is a flap sound produced by tapping the roof of the mouth.
- If a Carolyn wants a Japanese nickname, they might be called キャロ or リンちゃん, as shortening names is a common way to show intimacy in Japan.
