Meaning: Keeper of colts; Descendant of Coltarán

Coltrane is a masculine name of British, Scottish, and Irish origins. As a Scottish and British last name, Coltrane inherits the meaning “keeper of colts” as a derivative of Coulthard or Coulthart. A colt is a young male horse, so if you’re a horse lover, this makes for a great way for you and baby to share your appreciation for this majestic creature. Coltrane is also considered an Anglicization of the Irish last name Ó Coltaráin, which means “descendant of Coltarán.” If you want baby to share the horse's lively, energetic personality, naming them Coltrane will remind them to grab life by the reins.
