From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. French diminutive of Col, an abbreviation of Nicholas (q.v.). Colin is found in England from 1200 onwards, but not apparently as an independent name; it gave rise to the common surnames Collin, Collins, Collinson. Spenser’s Colin Clout seems to show that by the 16th C the name was regarded as a rustic nickname, and it gradually died out altogether. The Scottish Colin, still in use (sometimes by English as well as Scots), is a different name, probably a form of Columba (see Colum and Malcolm).
