Kol
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Kol: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2022.
Kol is often a short form of Nicholas, deriving from the Greek _Nikolaos_ meaning "victory of the people" – a name that spread through Scandinavia as a familiar variant of Nikolaus. In modern popular culture, Kol appears as the rebellious vampire Kol Mikaelson in the TV series _The Originals_, giving the name a darkly charismatic edge. It also shares roots with the more common Cole, and as a standalone name, Kol has a crisp, two-letter simplicity that feels both contemporary and grounded. While no major place connections are recorded, the name's brevity and strong K sound make it a distinctive choice
