Connor (given name)


Connor is an Irish male given name, anglicised from the compound Irish word "Conchobhar", meaning "Lover of wolves” or “Lover of hounds”. Its popularity likely derived from the name of Conchobar mac Nessa, a semi-legendary king of Ulster in Dál Riata described in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology.
Variant forms of Connor appear across Ireland, the UK and North America and include Conor, Conner and sometimes even Konnor.
