History & Origin
Colie is an affectionate short form tied to the Cole and Nicole names. Nicole descends from the Greek Nikolaos, 'victory of the people', while Cole is an English surname; Colie draws on both, a pet name occasionally set down as a legal first name.
It was always a genuine rarity, appearing only in ones and twos across the last century with its faint crest surprisingly late, in the mid-two-thousands, before slipping away again. Brief and homespun, it reads as a nickname-name rather than a name with a settled tradition.
