    Well the English don't take any ownership over Charlemagne, if anything as a Frankish King he's seen as French, wrong as it may seem. But the Latish folk that call themselves Franks are another rabbit-hole altogether.

    Ceorl as a King is rather unlikely, as it meant a lowly land-worker, hence its begotten word churlish. But having a King with a French name is indeed a shame, how about re-taking a good old English name that's been born-again as the benchmark of manliness: King Chad!

    Land is not a german/english word

    The beginning of this anglish version is great..

    It does not come from the same source, however, not if you refer to Germanic. Only if you refer to the IE commonality it does.

    I'd oppose and say that then it's not German. But I know what you mean and your display is legit.

    You can frankly (related to the word for Franks) say Ceorl. We also have Kerl in German just meaning an arbitrary guy, a simp, a man, so likely pretty close to what you presented. And actually the name Karl / Ceorl is closely related to that if not even simply the same. But if you well have introduced Ceorl the Great, your churlish connotation will be marginalised.

    King Chad, okay, but just as an interim solution for that humiliating Charles.

    Btw. Charles pronounced in English is even a worsening. Consider how French do pronounce Charles ("Sharl"). This is much closer to the original Germanic Karl than is the English pronounciation after all this unfortunate forth and back.

    We have a respective unfortunate stupid thing with Franz in German that is nohting but a corrupted re-import of Frank.

    It's not indisputable, but it may have been acquired by Latin from Proto-Germanic or even from Celtic peoples.

    It is Germanic, see the pic from an etymological lexicon. You should check how that usage came up there. Maybe by Visigoths?
