Kolum is a masculine name of Irish origin, being a variant spelling of Colum or Columba, which means "dove" in Latin. The name carries peaceful and gentle connotations, reflecting the symbolism of the dove. Saint Columba was a significant 6th-century Irish missionary who helped spread Christianity in Scotland. While less common than the traditional spelling Colum, the variant Kolum offers a more distinctive look while maintaining the traditional pronunciation. The K spelling gives the name a slightly more modern edge while honoring its Celtic roots. Kolum remains a relatively uncommon choice in most English-speaking countries, appealing to parents seeking an Irish name with historical depth but a contemporary feel.
