Karol is the Spanish variant of Carol — and in Polish, the feminine form of the masculine Karol (Charles). Karol G (born Carolina Giraldo Navarro, 1991) — *Colombian reggaeton singer; her 2023 album Mañana Será Bonito became the first all-Spanish-language album by a woman to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200. Her 2023 Mañana Será Bonito Tour became the highest-grossing tour ever by a Latin artist and the highest-grossing female Latin tour in history. Three Latin Grammy Awards including Album of the Year (2023) — the first solo female artist to win Latin Grammy Album of the Year. "Tusa" with Nicki Minaj (2019), "Bichota" (2020), "Provenza" (2022). The first solo female to headline the Coachella main stage (2024). Forbes 30 Under 30 (2020). "Karol" Wojtyła* (1920-2005) — Polish-born Pope John Paul II, masculine namesake.
Featured throughout 2020s Latin music.
Karol does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Karol reduce to 3, The Communicator. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
