Colin is a masculine given name that originated as a diminutive of Colle, which itself is a short form of the Old French name Nicolas victory (Nicholas). Nicolas has Greek origins and is derived from a combination of the words ‘nike,’ meaning ‘victory,’ and ‘laos,’ meaning ‘people.’
As a surname, Colin can be derived from the given name, but can also be of unrelated (French) origin. The Irish patronymic Ó Coileáin gave rise to the surname Cullen (which is also the anglicization of the unrelated patronymic Ó Cuilinn).
