Meaning of Kollin

Kollin (KAH-lin, /ˈkɑlɪn/) is an energetic twist on the timeless name Colin, rooted in Gaelic traditions—where Cailean means “young pup”—and echoing the Greek Nicholas’s “victory of the people.” The crisp K gives it a modern spark, striking a perfect balance between classic warmth and fresh individuality. Over the past few decades, Kollin has quietly climbed into the top 900 of U.S. boy names, with just under thirty babies given the name in 2024. Few will meet more than one Kollin at the playground—no awkward scramble for name tags—yet it feels instantly welcoming. It’s a choice that whispers of confident adventure and inspires him to forge his own path, like a compass pointing toward bold beginnings and heart-led journeys.
