Come to think of it, Colbein is obviously the Norwegian form of Calvin, the French-born founder of the Calvinist movement, which in France was called Huguenot. So what you heard was right, and any Norwegian connection is probably only secundary. Calvin(-us) is the Latin translation of his real surname 'Chauvin', meaning bald. See www.behindthename.com
