Darling; Words of Love From Around the World

Cariad, meaning darling or love in Welsh, is a term of endearment that traces back to Proto-Celtic 'kareti' - to desire or wish.

Cara, meaning darling or beloved one in Italian, comes from the Latin 'cārus', which has the same meaning.

Darling comes from Old English, when the adjective dēore (one highly valued or regarded fondly) with the suffix 'ling' ('one with a specified quality'.

Cherie, meaning darling or dear one, may come directly from the French verb chérir, to cherish or from the Italian cara.

Carino, like Cara, comes from the Latin cārus': darling or dear one.
