Carl and Karl are variants of Charles and appear to come from King Cearl of Mercia, and ancient British king. That name shares an origin with the word churl, an old Anglo saxon word meaning man or husband (but it later meant peasant before taking on ever more negative meanings). The word has no biblical connections. It's another of those names that speakers of Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Latin in ancient times would have considered a barbarian name from the far north.
