Charles is a masculine given name, the English and French form of a Germanic name first recorded in the Anglo-Saxon period as Cearl or Ceorl, as the name of king Cearl of Mercia. The corresponding Old Norse form is Carl, the German form is Karl. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time latinized as Karolus (as in Vita Karoli Magni), later also as Carolus.
The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun *karlaz meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ċeorl), which developed its deprecating sense in the Middle English period. In the form Charles, the initial spelling ch- corresponds to the palatalization of the Latin group ca- in Central French and the final -s to the former subject case of masculine words in Old French (< Latin -us).
The name is atypical for Germanic names as it is not composed of two elements, but simply a noun meaning "(free) man". This meaning of ceorl contrasts with eorl (Old Norse jarl) "nobleman" on one hand and with þeow (Old Norse þræll) "bondsman, slave" on the other. As such it would not seem a likely candidate for the name of a Germanic king, but it is attested as such with Cearl of Mercia (fl. 620), the first Mercian king mentioned by Bede in his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum. It is a peculiarity of the Anglo-Saxon royal names that many of the rulers of the earliest period (6th to 7th centuries) have monothematic (simplex) names, while the standard dithematic (compounded) names become almost universial from the 8th century. Compare the name of king Mul of Kent (7th century) which simply translates to "mule".
Charles John Huffam Dickens ( /ˈtʃɑrlz ˈdɪkɪnz/; 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic who is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period and the creator of some of the world's most memorable fictional characters. During his lifetime Dickens' works enjoyed unprecedented popularity and fame, but it was in the twentieth century that his literary genius was fully recognized by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to enjoy an enduring popularity among the general reading public.
Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens left school to work in a factory after his father was thrown into debtors' prison. Though he had little formal education, his early impoverishment drove him to succeed. He edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.

I didn't think that it would come This far
Before I let you know
With every falling word I could not resist
What kind of person do you take me for
Charles you're so frightened by life
Been shy all my life
Don't come in between us
When we started to explain Ourselves to you
When we started to erase the pain from
Where we go no one will know
For we'll be alone
On this road
You've been whispering in corners telling jokes
But I've been plotting my revenge very carefully
___________ was mistaken then so was hope
So go ahead and crucify me more
Charles you're so frightened by life
Been shy all my life
Dont' come in between us
When we started to explain Ourselves to you
When we started to erase the pain from
Where we go no one will know
Where we'll be alone
The straw that broke your back
Was one you couldn't see
It came so silently
Left you with no time to react
Pick up your broken bones
Drag them behind you home
Maybe they're tools that you will need
So I don't have to watch you bleed
No I don't wanna watch you bleed
When we started to explain Ourselves to you
When we started to erase the pain from
Where we go no one will know
Where we'll be alone
You're so afraid
You're so alive
No one that sees
Kill you inside
Where do we go
You won't be alone
