Colegrove is a surname, or family name, that developed in England between the 12th and 15th centuries. The name may have originated from a grove along the River Cole, Wiltshire, a tributary of the River Thames in England. Another explanation as to the origin of the name is from the Middle English ''cole'' ‘coal’ + ''grave'' ‘pit’, ‘grave’ (Old English ''col'' + ''græf''). Other forms of spelling in the past include ‘Colgrove’, ‘Colegrave’, ‘Colgrave’, ‘Coulgrove’. The first records of the Colegrove name were in 15th century England.
