My name is Karel and it is pronounced Kah-relle (emphasis on the second syllable). Research has shown me as a woman's name it means 'woman of strength, joyful song'. Some people do pronounce it as "Carol", ergo the meaning "joyful song - as in a Christmas Carol". The strength aspect comes from it also being a man's name - meaning "Strong Man".
