Colm
Colm is a male given name of Irish origin that means dove in the Irish language. Colm can be pronounced "Collum" or "Chullum". It is not an Irish version of Colon, but like Callum and Malcolm derives from a Gaelic variation on columba: the Latin word for 'dove'. English speakers need to add a "u" to make the sound Collum.
