Carrie is French, & it means: song of joy.

Knight is an English occupational or status name designating a lilitary servant to the king or great baron, usually a mounted soldier owing loyalty to his liege lord bound to fight in his quarrels. The name is derived from Old English word "cniht", meaning a boy or youthful servant. The knight was originally just a boy or young servant. The knight stood higher in rank than the franklin, freeman, & burgess, men of free birth, but not of noble birth.
