Irish Ó Colmáin or English 'servant of Nicholas' (Colin) — spelling alone cannot sort; both landed in English towns.
The history of Coleman
Irish **Ó Colmáin** and English 'servant of St Nicholas' both arrive at **Coleman** when Victorian enumerators standardise spelling. East Anglian and London registers hold both rivers; hospitality to strangers (St Nicholas' brief) quietly marks either line.
