it's a variant of Caroline, which is a form of Carol, which comes to us from Latin, female form of Carolus, more commonly known in English as Charles. This name originally was Germanic. the idea of 'womanly' comes from the fact that one of the possible origins of Charles is 'manly', and Carola is the feminine form. It is distinct from Carolan, which is a form of a combination of Carol and Anne

It's of Anglo-Saxon origin; a combination of Carol (joyous song) and Linda (pretty).
