Meaning:*
This name means “whelp, cub, young pup, young dog” in Gaelic. Some names in this family are used in Scotland as a form of the name “Columba,” while the name “Colin” is used as a diminutive of Nicolas. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the name tends to be spelled with one “L,” Colin, whereas, in the United States, it is sometimes spelled with two, Collin. It was never a common name in England and Wales, probably peaking around the 1960s, and has not been in the top 100 boys’ names for decades. Saint Columba (Irish: Colm Cille, ‘church dove’) was an Irish abbot and missionary credited with spreading Christianity in present-day Scotland. He founded the famous abbey on Iona, which became a dominant religious and political institution in the region for centuries. He was highly regarded by both the Gaels of Dál Riata and the Picts and is remembered today as a Christian saint and one of Ireland’s twelve apostles.
