Colridge Origin and Meaning

The name Colridge is a boy's name.

Colridge is a masculine name with literary associations, most likely inspired by the renowned English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). This spelling variation differs slightly from the poet's surname. The name ultimately derives from a place name in England meaning "cool ridge" or "coal ridge" in Old English, combining elements related to temperature or coal with "ridge" (elevated terrain). As a given name, Colridge is extremely rare, appealing to parents with literary interests or those seeking a distinctive intellectual-sounding name. The name carries connotations of creativity, thoughtfulness, and artistic sensibility due to its association with Romantic poetry. Colridge has never been common enough to appear in most popularity rankings but may appeal to parents looking for unusual names with cultural significance.
