Best Answer

It comes from the ancient Anglo-Saxon given name "Nicholas". A shortened version, or nickname, of Nicholas is "Colin". The proud and noble English surname Collins appears in the very ancient records of Shropshire, where they'd held a family seat prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066 A.D. They were Lords of the Manor with large estates there, as well in Herefordshire.
