Etymology
Carspach has historically been attested as Charoltespach in 877 and Karolspach in 1266. The toponym Carspach is of Germanic origin, deriving from the anthroponym Charoald. The Germanic hydronym *-bak(i) entered the French language via High German, and took on two forms: the Germanic form -bach and Romantic -bais.{{cite web|url = https://open.library.ubc.ca/cIRcle/collections/ubctheses/831/items/1.0094985| title = Germanic elements in French Toponymy |url-status = live |last = Caljouw |first = William Robert |date = 1981 |pages = 148–149 |publisher = University of British Columbia |doi = 10.14288/1.0094985 | access-date = 2021-01-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200301195751/https://open.library.ubc.ca/cIRcle/collections/ubctheses/831/items/1.0094985 |archive-date=2020-03-01 }}
