Meaning and background
The story behind Kale
Kale has a documented personal-name route as the Hawaiian form of Charles. That history is separate from the English vegetable word with the same spelling, so a dog named Kale might have either a family-name connection or a food association depending on the household's intention. The cited name entry supports the Hawaiian route specifically. It should not be used to claim that Charles has a vegetable-related origin.
