Coline is a diminutive form of the name Nicole, which itself originates from the Greek name Nikolaos, meaning 'victory of the people'. In the context of Peru, Coline also refers to a mountain in the Andes, named possibly from the Aymara word 'q'uli', referring to the stripes of different colors on traditional Andean clothing, combined with the suffix '-ni' indicating ownership, thus meaning 'the one with stripes'.
