卡林

卡林 transliterates several foreign names. Most famously George Carlin (乔治·卡林, 1937–2008) — the American stand-up known for the "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television" routine. Also renders the Scandinavian/German female name Karin, and is a Naruto character (Karin Uzumaki, 漩涡卡琳/卡林).

memory

卡 kǎ ('Ka-/Car-') + 林 lín ('-rin/-lin'). 卡 is the workhorse syllable for English 'ca-/car-' (also 卡片 card, 卡车 truck — both from foreign roots).
