La carline peut, bien entendu, être la femelle du carlin mais aussi une plante renfermant des chardons. Le mot est le résultat d’une collision entre les mots chardon et Charles car une ancienne légende rattachait la plante à Charlemagne. Le grand agronome français Olivier de Serres affirmait en effet que cette herbe avait guéri l’armée de Charlemagne de la peste.

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
