Meaning: Of Collins; Young dog, young pup; Of Colin; Victory of the people

For the little one who wins the hearts of animals and people alike, the feminine name Kollyns could be very fitting! While the spelling may differ and catch the eye of everyone who meets your tiny trendsetter, Kollyns is believed to have links to the Irish surname Collins and the French first name Colin. Collins derives from the Irish personal name Coileán or the Scottish variant, Cailean, meaning “young dog” or “young pup.” A sign that there could be lots of canine companions in baby Kollyns' future! Little Kollyns might also take inspiration from the meaning “victory of the people,” linked to the French first name Colin, through its root name, Nicholas.
