Connor is Irish in Origin.
Connor is the Anglicized given name derived from Irish Conchobhar (also spelled Conchúr). Its root con means “hound” or “wolf,” while the second element likely denotes “desire/lover,” yielding the traditional sense “lover of hounds” or “wolf-lover.” The association with prized hunting dogs in early Ireland linked the name with loyalty, guardianship, and warrior prestige, which helped cement its appeal among Gaelic nobility.
In legend and literature, it is borne by Conchobhar mac Nessa, the Ulster king of the Táin Bó Cúailnge, anchoring the name in medieval tradition. Through anglicization it produced the surname Ó Conchobhair > O’Connor and the given-name spellings Connor and Conor. Contemporary variants include Conor (Irish standard), Conner, Konnor, and Konner; Gaelic forms are Conchobhar/Conchúr. Short forms are Con and Conn. Usage revived strongly in Ireland, Britain, and North America from the late 20th century onward.
