Colan Forename Definition:
M. This is a Cornish name; literally, it means ‘a dove’ and hence derives from Latin columba. The name sprang not only from the fame surrounding Columba or Columbus, the great C6 founder of a hundred monasteries, but also, in reinforcing part, from the sanctity investing Columba, a Christian virgin put to death by a heathen Cornish king, later canonized, and now the patron saint of two parishes in Cornwall.
