Help[Surname] Kollgaard?
I've looked online, and I think it might be a Danish surname. Does anyone know the origin and, if possible, meaning of this name?

Koll is listed in the OED etymology section as a cognate of cabbage in Germanic languates. So, probably, Cabbage farm or garden

I think it's Danish too, but I haven't found any conclusive proof. Gaard is Danish for "farm", and is a common second component of place name surnames. Koll, I don't know, maybe a personal name.
