By Isaiah Patrick • Updated October 5, 2026

Cole

Cole is a German male given name.

Cole is used as a masculine first name.

Did you know?

In German, the word Kohle is a very common slang term for 'cash' or 'dough'. Because 'Cole' sounds nearly identical, a German person might jokingly ask if your name is actually a synonym for 'money'.
In German, the sound of the name Cole is identical to the pronunciation of the word Kohl, which means 'cabbage'.
If a German speaker sees the name Cole written, they may wonder if it is a stylistic spelling of the surname Kohl, which is famously associated with former Chancellor Helmut Kohl.

Examples in context

Ist Cole dein Bruder?
Is Cole your brother?
Ich habe Cole gestern getroffen.
I met Cole yesterday.
Cole arbeitet in Berlin.
Cole works in Berlin.
