The surname Collins is an ancient Irish name with a rich history. It is derived from the Gaelic name O'Coileáin, meaning descendant of Coileán, which itself is a personal name derived from coile, meaning hound or whelp.
The Collins family is believed to have originated in County Cork, Ireland. They were part of the Dál gCais tribal grouping, which dominated the region during the medieval period. The Collins clan held a significant position in Irish society, and their descendants spread throughout the country, particularly in Munster.
During the 17th century, Ireland faced turbulent times, with conflicts, plantations, and the influx of English settlers. Many Irish families, including the Collins, faced persecution and displacement. As a result, some Collins families emigrated to other parts of the world, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
In these new lands, the Collins name continued to flourish, and many individuals of Irish descent proudly carry the surname to this day. The name has also gained popularity through its association with notable figures, including Michael Collins, a key figure in Ireland's struggle for independence.
Today, Collins is a common surname in Ireland, as well as in countries with significant Irish diasporas. It symbolizes the resilience and heritage of the Irish people.
