Coley

Coley, the name is primarily given to boys. This name is also being given to girls correspondingly. The name Coley is said to have originated from Old English. The Anglo-Saxons used this name, by borrowing it from Norsemen who were their predecessors in ruling Britain. The meaning of Coley is ‘swarthy person's settlements or ‘dark-haired’ as it is a derivation of 'Colbey'. Although this name is seen as to borrow from the Old English period, some see the name as a diminutive of the Greek name ‘Nicholas’ where it means 'people of victory'. The Greek Saint Nicholas was a bishop under the Roman Empire. He lived in the fourth century and because of his services and miracles, Nicholas is hailed as a patron of children, tradesmen, boatmen, highwaymen, and unmarried men. The legend also says it is Nicholas’ act of giving secret gifts and giving birth to the Santa Claus tradition (Saint Nik). Eventually, the name Nicholas and its variations were given to many children. Cole, Colbey, and Colly are other variants of this name. This name is used in America, Britain, and Ireland. It became a prevalent surname in Ireland during the reign of Henry VIII when English people inhabitated the land. Coley makes a good forename and surname as well. The father of immunotherapy William B Coley, the astrologer and mathematician Henry Coley, and the actor and boxer, Coley Wallace are some of the great personalities with this name.
