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.
