Check it with a full name ↓Colt is a modern English word-name taken directly from the common noun for a young (especially male) horse, tracing to Old English colt and Proto-Germanic *kultaz; it was first used as a surname before becoming a given name in its own right, and its adoption has plausibly been reinforced both by frontier/Western word-name fashion and by the cultural weight of the Colt firearms brand and Samuel Colt himself.
