Carolus is the medieval Latin form of the name Charles. The given name also gave rise to a surname in the 17th century. In Sweden, it is most commonly associated with Carolus Rex ("King Charles"), the last king of the Swedish Empire.
The carolus was a gold coin struck in the reign of Charles I of England. It was originally valued at 20 shillings, but later 23. The name has also been used for other currencies bearing Carolus (Charles) as the name of the ruler, such as the Carolus dollar, a Spanish-American peso or piece of eight issued by Charles III (1759-88) and Charles IV (1788-1808) of Spain.
Carolus is a genus in the Malpighiaceae, a family of about 75 genera of flowering plants in the order Malpighiales. Carolus comprises six species of woody vines native to Mexico, Central America, the Lesser Antilles, and South America.
