About Collins
Collins is a surname name that has made the girls' Top 1000 thanks to its use for the daughter of the real-life Blind Side heroine. As of 2022, Collins climbed into the US Top 300. This derivation of the Greek Nicholas—which means "people of victory"—or the Irish and Scottish Colin—which may itself be a Nicholas derivation or an Anglicization of the word for pup—has a stylish feel made more so by that final s.
Collins for boys#2684 US
Though Collins makes the Top 300 for girls, it sounds strong and handsome for boys too, kind of like the newly-stylish Brooks. The final s updates it from the 80s-ish Colin or the Twilightish Cullen. Might make an innovative honorific for a grandpa Nick.
Last year, more than 1200 baby girls were named Collins in the US versus only about 50 baby boys.
Pronounced KAH-lunz.
As of October 2026, Collins ranked #241 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #238 in 2023, Nameberry popularity #481.
