colin

Pronounced "Call-in"

A name originated by two separate civilizations, the Greeks and the Gaels neither having contact with the other while the languages were being developed.
In Greek, Colin means "Victor" and is pronounced slightly different than the more commonly accepted Gaelic (Call-in). The "O" sound is more round as in the actual pronunciation of said letter.
The Gaelic Colin is indeed derived from the Gaelic word "Cailean" which means "Young Wolf". It does NOT mean little girl, young child, or otherwise. Those terms are synonomous with the word, but not an exact definition.

Take it from the Scot. I know what I'm talking about.
