Conchobhairt is Irish in Origin.

Conchobhairt is a rare Gaelic spelling tied to the Old Irish given name Conchobar/Conchobhar, most often encountered as a case-marked or patronymic form in historical Irish and some Scottish Gaelic sources. The element con means “hound, wolf,” and cobar denotes “desire,” giving the sense “hound-desiring” or “lover of hounds,” a traditional emblem of courage and warrior status.

The Conchobar name group was borne by the legendary Ulster king Conchobar mac Nessa of the Ulster Cycle and by numerous medieval Gaelic rulers, especially within the Ó Conchobhair (O’Conor) dynasty of Connacht. In modern usage, Irish typically prefers Conchúr, while English Connor/Conor predominate; earlier records sometimes substitute Cornelius as an anglicization. Noted variants include Conchobar (Old Irish), Conchobur (Middle Irish), Conchobhar and Conchúr (Modern Irish), and Scottish Gaelic Conchobhar; short forms and hypocoristics include Con and Conn.
