Etymology
The first sense comes from medieval Latin carolinus, from the given name Carolus. The second sense, derived from Carolus as the Latinized form of the name of king Charles XII of Sweden, was first used in 1769, 51 years after his death in 1718. It was also popularized by a collection of short stories titled Karolinerna (1897) by Verner von Heidenstam.
