Colsen Origin and Meaning
The name Colsen is a boy's name meaning "son of Nicholas".
Author Colson Whitehead put his name on the map, and now variations such as Colsen and Colsyn are shooting up along with it. With its cowboy style, Colsen was one of the fastest rising boy names of 2024, when it was given to 442 boys — more than four times the number of babies who were given it previous year.
A potential honor name for a Nicholas (or a Cole or a Colin) with a slightly softer feel to it than Colson or Colton, it may appeal to those wanting something rugged but not too rough.
