起源与历史

Patronymic surname meaning 'son of Karl', the Scandinavian form of Charles, from the Old High German 'Karl' meaning 'free man' or 'man'. The name was popularised across Europe through the legacy of Charlemagne (Karl der Grosse, 748-814), and in Scandinavia Karl remained a common given name throughout the medieval and early modern periods. Karlsen is the specifically Norwegian and Danish form, distinguished from the Swedish Karlsson, and it appears frequently in Norwegian records from the western coastal counties of Vestland and Rogaland.
