Names That Mean Freedom
Charlotte, Charlie and Charles all descend from a Germanic word for a free man, and so do Caroline, Carolina, Carlos and Lottie. Frances and Francesca mean “free one”, Saoirse is the Irish word for freedom itself, and Liberty needs no translation. Names that mean free have a lightness to them, a small daily reminder that the child wearing one is nobody’s but their own.
