Colon is a Spanish surname, the Italian version is Colombo-- and in English, Columbus. If Christopher Columbus, who was from Genoa in what is now Italy (the Italian "boot" was divided into multiple small countries in the 15th Century) had been funded for his voyage by the Genoese instead of Spain's Ferdinand and Isabella (who used money confiscated from Jews and Muslims they were expelling from Iberia), the University of Ohio would be in Colon, instead of Columbus!
