What is the first name of Miss Bingley?

The first name of Miss Bingley is Caroline. Caroline Bingley is the unmarried sister of Charles Bingley, who rents Netherfield Park near Longbourn at the beginning of Pride and Prejudice. She belongs to the wealthy social circle surrounding her brother and is keenly aware of rank, manners, and connections.

Caroline takes an immediate interest in Mr. Darcy and hopes to increase her own social standing through him. She is also jealous of Jane Bennet's growing relationship with Charles and openly critical of Elizabeth Bennet. Her polished manners and social accomplishments often conceal her condescension and competitiveness.

Readers sometimes confuse Caroline with her married sister, Louisa Hurst. Both women are Bingley's sisters, but Louisa is married to Mr. Hurst, while Caroline remains unmarried throughout the novel. Caroline's first name is stated in the novel and is also used consistently in adaptations and reference works.
