Karel

/ˈkɑːrəl/ noun

Definition

A male given name, used in various cultures; also a character from literature (like Karel Čapek, the Czech author who invented the word 'robot').

Etymology

From Germanic roots meaning 'man' or 'husband.' Popularized as a royal name through Charlemagne (Latin: Carolus), and later used across Europe in various linguistic forms.

Kelly Says

Karel Čapek, a Czech writer, literally invented the word 'robot' in his 1920 play—it comes from the Czech word 'robota' meaning forced labor, which is weirdly perfect for what robots do!
