Collin is French, Scottish in Origin.
Collin is the modern double-l variant of Colin, a name with dual roots. In continental and Middle English use it arose as an Old French pet form of Nicholas, from Greek Nikolaos, meaning victory of the people. In Scotland and Ireland it also reflects the Gaelic Cailean or Coileán, interpreted as whelp or young warrior and used as an affectionate byname. Thus Collin carries both the triumphant sense of Nicholas and the youthful vigor of the Gaelic form.
Medieval records show Colin in England and France, for example the 13th-century minstrel Colin Muset, and in Scotland as the Anglicized name of Cailean Mor, progenitor of the Campbell earls. Collin emerged as a favored spelling in North America in the late 20th century. Variants and cognates include Colin, Collyn, Cóilín (Irish), and Cailean (Scottish Gaelic); related surnames are Collins and Collings. Short forms include Cole and Coll.
