Cohl is English in Origin.
Cohl is a contemporary variant of Cole, its spelling likely shaped by the German surname Kohl and the artistic surname borne by animator Émile Cohl. The underlying root is Old English col/Cola, meaning coal, charcoal, used as a byname for someone dark-haired or swarthy; Cole also served as a medieval pet form of Nicholas (via Col/Colle). As a result, Cohl carries both the coal-black sense and the familiar nickname lineage of Nicholas.
Recorded as a given name in North America from the late 20th century onward, Cohl remains rare and stylistically modern, aligning with the trend for brisk, one-syllable, surname-like choices. It is used chiefly for boys but is not strictly gendered. Close variants and cognates include Cole, Kole, Kohl, and Coal; related forms are Coel (as in legendary Old King Cole) and the short form Col. Meaning: coal-black; charcoal.
