A surname stye choice that could also work as a nickname, Coley may appeal to those who like Callie, Colby, and Carey, or anyone looking for an interesting way to honor a Nicole or a Nicholas. Country singer Cooper Alan and his wife Hally chose Coley Frances Cooper for their daughter in 2025. 
 
As a last name, Coley and its alternative spelling Colley, may stem from the given name Nicholas (or Nicola, Nicole, and Nicolette) meaning "people of victory", and could equally be used as a diminutive for any of those names.
