for a paper, and i need a greek sounding name but still sounding like caroline.
What is a good greek name inspired by the name Caroline?
Carolinus, Carolinthius and Caroldiusius are names for a male. Carolinian is an adjective.
The 鈥搃x names are not greek.
There is no greek name for Caroline, but if you want it to sound greek (to a Greek person nowadays), you should pick Carolina, and pronounce the "i" like an "ee".
If you want a greek name in etymology, then the closest you can get is a name that begins with Calli-.
This word comes from a greek adjective that means "good", or "beautiful".
Here are some female names starting with Calli-:
Callidike (The one that is just)
Calliope (The one that has a beautiful voice)
Callithoe (The one tha has a positive, a good energy)
Callithaea (The one that has a beautiful appearance)
Callicrateira (The one that reigns, governs well)
Calligaeneia (The one of noble ancestry)
Callipateira (as above)
Callidora means the bringer of beautiful gifts.
There are even more like these, but the closest in pronounciation is Callirrhoe, because of the presence of "l" and "r", that make it sound more like "Caroline".
Callirrhoe(Kallir贸锚) was a Naiad in greek mythology.
Naiads were nymphs.
More about Callirrhoe (etymology) and the other Naiads can be found in Wikipedia.
Calandra is also greek, but I dont know the etymology.
