Meaning & origin
Caralina is a modern coinage that first entered U.S. birth records in 2006. Its peak year came in 2015, and after a period of lower use, it has been rising steadily since 2020. The name has a low current rank of 13,208, with an incidence of about 1 in every 267,878 births. Caralina follows the pattern of combining a short vowel-stem like Cara (from Italian 'cara', meaning dear) with the fashionable -lina ending, a suffix seen in many contemporary feminine names. The name is used almost exclusively for girls and has no top state concentrations, reflecting its broad but sparse distribution across the country.
Caralina is a modern invented name, combining the popular root Cara (from Italian cara, 'dear') with the fashionable suffix -lina, as seen in names like Carolina and Angelina. It first appeared in U.S. records in 2006 and has seen modest use since, particularly in the 2010s.
