Colis Origin and Meaning

The name Colis is a boy's name.

Colis is an unusual masculine name with obscure origins. It may have developed as a variant of 'Collis,' which comes from Latin meaning 'hill' or 'knoll.' Another possibility is that it evolved as a shortened form of Nicholas or from surnames like Collins. The name has remained extremely rare throughout recorded naming history, with very few documented instances in public records. This scarcity gives Colis a distinctive character and uniqueness. Its short, crisp sound with two syllables makes it phonetically accessible despite its rarity. For parents seeking a truly uncommon name with a classic feel, Colis offers distinction without complicated pronunciation.
