Names That Mean Charcoal

Name of a poet, this will be one for consideration by literary parents. The name fits well with the current trend towards surnames as given names, but beware the three syllable pronunciation, which may be a trap for the poetically disinclined.

Coleridge

This occupational surname comes from an old Germanic word, <em>koler</em>, referring to someone who made their living working with charcoal. Today, in the US, it might be associated with the plumbing manufacturer, Kohler Co., the department store, Kohl's, or perhaps kohl eyeliner pencils.

Nevertheless, as a last name with a K initial, Kohler could well fit in with the likes of Kyzer, Colter, Karter, and Colton.
