The exact origin of the name “Collie” is uncertain, although it may derive from the Scots word for “coal”[1] – many collie types are black or black-and-white. Alternatively it may come from the related word colley, referring to the black-faced mountain sheep of Scotland. -— says Wikipedia.

I haven’t heard the surname “Collie.” interesting.
