(a) Local, 'of Colbourne,' a township in the parish of Catterick, North Riding of Yorkshire But I find no representatives in Yorkshire of any family of that name. The true origin of all the forms is (1). Since writing the above I find this view corroborated by Mr. Earwaker in his East Cheshire, ii. 131. He records that William Coulborn was vicar of Mottram-in-Longdendale in 1695. He adds in a note, 'he may perhaps be identified with a "William Colbron" who matriculated at Oxford from Wadham College, 36th March, 1686.'
1 Dweller at (a) the Cold Brook [Old English c(e)ald + burne] (b) the Black Brook [Old English col (coal-) black] 2 the Domesday Colebern, prob. for the Norse Kolbjörn [Old Norse björn, a bear: the first element is somewhat doubtful, either Old Norse kjóll-Old English ceól, a ship, or Old Norse kol = O.E col (coal-) black]
