What National Colby Day Is All About

Colby is an old name that comes from Old Norse. ‘Kol’ means coal or charcoal, and ‘byr’ means a town. “Koli” is a guy with a dark complexion, and the word means his village or farmstead when put together. Koli comes from the name of a Viking tribe, which is likely why the focus is on a man’s rough, weathered face.

Colby was first the name of a place and later turned into an Old English last name. People who visit England can still find towns with the name Colby in places like Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Westmorland. Colby has been used as a family name since the time of the Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. The name was given to people who lived in Colby, a town in Norfolk. The Colby line is known in history as an old family with land and rights in Norfolk. Before the Normans came and Duke William Hastings, also known as William the Conqueror, they were a family. It was normal to see different spellings of Colby, like Colbey and Coalby. The numerous spelling changes in English are evidence that Latin, French, and other languages have influenced it.

Families began to board ships bound for British colonies, especially North America and Jamaica, to get away from the political unrest in England. There were too many people on these dirty, germ-filled ships, but many people were willing to take the risk because the benefits were good: land and freedom from political persecution. Families that made it through the passage were very important in the colonies where they finally settled. Colby is a name that many people in the US and Canada use today.
