Notes:

From Wilbur Hanson Kalb
Charges Thomæ’s wife died in childbirth ten months after their baby was buried at the age of six weeks.  Charges, like Eucharius, is a real German forename.  It’s usually spelled as Karges and, like Eucharius, it’s not in the book, Duden Lexikon der Vornamen [ Duden Dictionary of Forenames ].  But, apparently, it’s used by boys named Eucharius, Carius or Charisius to avoid getting beaten up in the playgrounds.  The Forenames website has the information in German :

Karius, Karies, Karges Heiligenname ( Macarius d. Große, griechisch »der Selige« ).  Im 15./16. Jahrhundert als Vorname :  Charius Balduf 1504 Ravensburg, in Quedlinburg 1598 Karries, Karges.  Vergleiche Johannes Keris ( Karisii ) 1304 Worms ( auch Charisius war Heiligenname ).

In English :

Saint’s name — Karius, Karies, Karges ( St Macarius the Great, Greek » the Holy « ).  In the 15th and 16th Century as a forename :  Charius Balduf 1504 Ravensburg, in Quedlinburg 1598 Karries, Karges.  Compare to Johannes Keris ( Karisii ) 1304 Worms ( Charisius was also a saint’s name ).

[ St Macarius the Great is St Marcarius of Egypt ( ca 300 – 391 ), the Coptic Christian monk and hermit whose feast day is 15 January in the Catholic Church and 19 January in the Orthodox Church.  St Charisius of Corinth was a Greek missionary who was one of the eight Christians who were martyred for their faith in AD 250 in Corinth, Greece, by the Presecution of Decius, the Emperor of Rome from AD 245 to AD 251.  His feast day is 16 April. ]
