Etymology
Uncertain. The island name, recorded as Latin Colosus in 704 AD, is often linked to an Old Irish *koll or Proto-Brythonic *koll, both of which trace back to Proto-Celtic *koslos (“hazel”). A derivation from Ancient Greek κολοσσός (kolossós, “giant figure”) has been called "naïve" by Coates (2006).
