Conall is Irish in Origin.
Conall is an Irish masculine name whose oldest recorded form is Old Irish Conall. It is usually analysed as con, the genitive stem of cú, hound, dog, or wolf, joined to gal, valour or martial ardour; the compound therefore has the literal sense wolf-valour, often rendered strong as a wolf. The second element was obscured early in manuscript spelling, which helps explain later folk interpretations such as high or mighty.
In medieval Irish tradition, Conall Cernach is a leading warrior of the Ulster Cycle and avenger of Cúchulainn, while Conall Gulban was remembered among the founders of northern Uí Néill kindreds. The name remained part of Gaelic naming in Ireland and Scotland, with Conal and Connell as common Anglicized forms; Connell also developed strongly as a surname from Ó Conaill. Recent use is modest outside Ireland, and Conall has not ranked in the U.S. Top 1000.
