Alexander Colyn
Alexander Colyn (also spelt Colin or Colins; 1527 or 152917 August 1612) was a Flemish sculptor. Biography Colyn was born in Mechelen, Belgium. In 1563 he went, at the invitation of the emperor Ferdinand I, to Innsbruck, to work on the magnificent monument which was being erected to Maximilian I in the nave of the Franciscan church. Of the twenty-four marble altirilievi (high reliefs), representing the emperors principal acts and victories, which adorn the sides of this tomb, twenty were executed by Colyn, apparently in three years. The work displays a remarkable combination of liveliness and spirit with extreme care and finish, its delicacy rivaling that of a fine cameo. Bertel Thorvaldsen is said to have pronounced it the finest work of its kind. Colyn, who was sculptor in ordinary both to the emperor and to his son, the archduke Ferdinand of Tirol, did a great deal of work for his patrons at Innsbruck and in its neighborhood; particular mention may be made of the sepulchers ...

Colin (given Name)
Colin is an English-language masculine given name. It has two distinct origins: # A diminutive form of "Colle", itself an Old French short form of the name Nicolas (Nicholas). This name, but not the anglicized Gaelic name, is also found in the spelling Collin. This name is formed by the Old French diminutive ''-in'' also found in Robin. # An anglicized form of the Gaelic name ''Cuilen'', ''Cailean'', modern Irish spelling ''Coileáin'', meaning "whelp, cub". The Old Irish word for "whelp", is ''cuilén''. The Scottish Gaelic name is recorded in the spelling ''Colin'' from as early as the 14th century. ''MacCailean'' was a patronymic used by Clan Campbell, after Cailean Mór (d. 1296). As a surname, Colin can be derived from the given name, but can also be of unrelated (French) origin. The Irish patronymic ''Ó Coileáin'' gave rise to the surname '' Cullen'' (which is also the anglicization of the unrelated patronymic ''Ó Cuilinn''). In England and Wales, ''Colin'' was one of ...
