Kolby

Kolby is a masculine name of English origin derived from the Old Norse words 'kol' meaning 'coal' and 'by' meaning 'town' or 'village'.

The name Kolby can be interpreted to mean 'coal town' or 'dark town'. It is believed to have originated as a place name, referring to a town or village where coal was mined or where there was a significant presence of coal.

As a personal name, Kolby gained popularity in the late 20th century, particularly in the United States. It is often seen as a modern variation of the more traditional name Colby.

Despite its English roots, Kolby has a distinct Scandinavian sound, which contributes to its appeal as a name with a unique and intriguing background.
