As you may be aware, Proper Nouns are not translated while doing translation. Instead, the same are transliterated in the script in which the translation is being done.

The possibilities of an English name having a meaning in a different language are very bleak. However, if you intend to view your name in Urdu, you should communicate to me your e-mail ID so that I may furnish you the same as an attachment because there is no provision to use Urdu language here.

Hope this helps.

Naghma -e- Tarb


Explanation:
Well, if we talk about translation of the word "Carol", it means a song of joy or praise and we can translate it as "Naghma -e- Tarb". This condition is applied even it is a noun.

If it is "Christmas Carol", it will be translated as "Tarana-e-Christmas

BUT if it is used like a name of a person e.g. Mr. Carol OR Ms. Carol, it will be transliterated into Urdu. In this case no translation is required. So it is better to go through the full sentence before translation. Based on the context, you can choose any.

Answer provided by my colleague "Langclinic" can also be taken correct but it does not convey a meaning if translation is concerned.
