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''.
