Conner is Irish in Origin.
Conner is an English and Scottish surname form of Connor, the anglicized Irish given name from Old Irish Conchobhar (Modern Irish Conchúr). It is commonly interpreted as "lover of hounds," from cú "hound" plus a root meaning "desire," reflecting the prestige of hunting dogs in early Gaelic society. As a surname, it corresponds to Ó Conchobhair, later O'Connor, with Conner arising as a regional spelling.
Found in medieval rolls across Ireland and Britain as a family name, Conner began gaining use as a given name in the United States in the late 20th century, trailing the rise of Connor/Conor and peaking in the early 2000s. Preferred forms vary by region: Conor (Ireland), Connor (UK/US), and Conner (U.S. surname spelling). Related variants and spellings include Conor, Connor, Conner, Konner, and Konnor; surnames O'Connor and Connors are cognates. Short forms include Con and Conn.
