Colie
Colie Origin and Meaning
Colie is a masculine name that can function as a diminutive of Nicholas or Cole, though it sometimes stands as an independent name. It has multiple possible origins, including Greek (from Nicholas, meaning 'victory of the people') or Old English (from Cole, meaning 'charcoal' or 'coal-black'). Colie has a friendly, approachable quality with its short, two-syllable structure. While traditionally a boy's name, it occasionally appears as a nickname for girls named Nicole. The name has a casual, American feel and was somewhat more common in the southern United States during the early 20th century. Today, Colie remains relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive character while maintaining familiar sounds.
