The name Caroline connotes membership of the Carolingian dynasty, literally "from the line of Charlemagne".

I've always been told that Caroline means free woman since Carolus was a name given to a free man (with that meaning.) I know that the origin holds the meaning 'man' but since it's a feminized name I would still think that it could be considered to mean woman.

A meaning of Caroline is "a free woman", it also comes from Carl that means King.

Feminising a name does not change the meaning. It is still related to the word 'man' whether you want it to be or not. I believe the original meaning of Carl was more at 'free man' than 'man,' so I guess you can interpret it as meaning free with 'man' part being twisted into something like 'strong,' perhaps, but it still doesn't really mean woman.

Caroline is the feminine form of Charles. It is also from a German root meaning "strong, song, melody, and woman".
