Kolb - Origin, History, and Meaning: German, from Middle High German kolbe in various meanings. The main sense is ‘mace’- a heavy medieval war club with a spiked or flanged metal head, used to crush armor, or a ‘cudgel’-a short heavy club with a rounded head used as a weapon and part of an official’s insignia. It may also be a house name - there is a record of a house named ‘zum Kolben’ in Strasbourg. Source Ancestry.com;surnames.behindthename.com
