*"Karl" is the {{w|German language|German}} and {{w|North Germanic languages|Scandinavian}} form of Charles.<ref>[http://www.behindthename.com/name/karl Behind the Name: Meaning, origin and history of the name Karl]</ref> It is said to have been derived from a Common Germanic noun karlaz meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl, which developed its deprecating sense in the Middle English period. An alternative theory states that it is derived from the common Germanic element hari meaning 'army, warrior'.<ref>[http://www.behindthename.com/name/charles Behind the Name: Meaning, origin and history of the name Charles]</ref> | |||

*Karl is most likely German, due to him saying, "Herr Fortesque" when addressing Dan, instead of "Mr. Fortesque" or simply just "Fortesque", and also because of his use of the word "nein" in place of "no". | *Karl is most likely German, due to him saying, "Herr Fortesque" when addressing Dan, instead of "Mr. Fortesque" or simply just "Fortesque", and also because of his use of the word "nein" in place of "no". | ||
