Kind of name: Commemorative name
Theme: Local notables

Jean-Joseph Caroly (1823-1894) était un important avocat qui fit de nombreux dons à la commune de Schaerbeek (qui, pour le remercier lui et d'autres, nomma une place 'Bienfaiteurs'). Cependant, aucune information au sujet de son histoire à Ixelles n'a pu être retrouvée. (remark in French, as published)
