The name "Carolina" is derived from the Latin "Carolus," which means "Charles." It was originally used in honor of King Charles I of England when the territory was granted to him in the 17th century. Consequently, "Carolina" translates to "land of Charles," reflecting the monarch's influence and the colonial heritage of the region.
