Carolee

Carolee is a feminine given name of American origin. It is a variant spelling of the more common name Carol, which itself comes from the Middle English name Carola and ultimately derives from the Germanic elements "kar" meaning "strong" or "free man" and "hild" meaning "battle". Thus, Carolee means "strong in battle". The use of Carolee as a given name has not been widespread throughout history. It is a relatively modern name that became more popular during the mid-20th century when many parents opted for unique spellings of traditional names. Some notable people named Carolee include American actress Carolee Campbell, known for her roles in television shows and films such as "Days of Our Lives" and "Criminal Minds", as well as Canadian singer-songwriter Carolee Carmello, who has performed on Broadway and has been nominated for multiple Tony Awards.
