Conlen is a modern Irish surname-turned-given name, most often viewed as a respelling of Conlan/Conlon. These derive from the Gaelic Ó Conalláin (“descendant of Conallán”) or Ó Conluain. Conallán is a diminutive of Conall, from Old Irish con “hound, wolf” and gal “valor,” yielding senses such as “valorous hound” or “strong-willed.” If taken from Conluan, the elements are con “hound” + lúan/luan “warrior,” giving a closely related meaning. Variants and cognates include Conlan, Conlon, Conlin, Conlyn, and the longer Connellan; short forms are Con and Conn.

As a personal name, Conlen is rare but fits the contemporary pattern of Irish surnames used as first names. It is documented mainly in the 20th and 21st centuries in Ireland, Britain, North America, and Australasia, while the surname forms appear throughout medieval and early modern Irish records.
