a Finnish surname
Where this word comes from
Unknown. A traditionally Savonian surname with the suffix + -inen. Attested since at least 1559; older attested forms include Koloman, Koleman, Kolemann, Kolimainen (none of them have -h-). Compare Solehmainen, which this (much more common) surname may have influenced. According to Vilkuna (1960), the surname may have been derived from a lost given name *Kole(h)ma; following Pentti Virrankoski, this name found in a farm name in Ylivieska (in Northern Ostrobothnia) already in the 16th century might not necessarily be of Savonian (but instead e.g. of Karelian) origin. If the -h- is secondary, it may have been introduced for a similar reason as in huhmar (via Kolema- > ? *Koleema- > Kolehma-).
