Origin: Gaelic

Meaning: Pup

Kollin is an endearing boy's name, especially for those partial to canine companions. A variation of the Scots Gaelic name Cailean and the Irish Coileán, Kollin comes from the Old Irish word cuilén, meaning "pup." More than irresistible cuteness, in Ireland, a pup enjoys recognized connotations of youthfulness and mischief—all wrapped up in an unwavering self-confidence any dog parent will instantly recognize.
