Lacolle is French in Origin.

Lacolle is a rare modern given name drawn from a French toponym and surname. In southern French and Occitan place-names, colle means “hill,” from Latin collis; thus Lacolle carries the sense “the hill” or “from the hill.” While standard French colle means “glue,” the toponymic Lacolle reflects the older geographic term. The name appears in francophone locales such as La Colle-sur-Loup in Provence and Lacolle, Quebec, known from the War of 1812 skirmishes at Lacolle Mills, which helped spread the place-name in North American records.

As a given name, Lacolle has seen sporadic, contemporary use, often in the United States and Canada, and reads as unisex. Variants include LaColle (camel-cased), Lacole/LaCole (anglicized), and Colle or Cole as clipped forms; it is sometimes blended with Nicole by sound, though not by origin. Pronunciation typically follows French-style lah-KOHL. Meaning: “the hill; one who dwells by the hill.”
