Konah is a modern multicultural given name with several plausible roots. Most commonly it is treated as a creative K-spelling of Conah/Conor, themselves drawn from Old Irish Conchobhar, traditionally interpreted as “hound-lover” or “one who desires hounds.” Legendary bearers include medieval Ulster kings and early Irish saints, and the Connor/Conor family of names surged in Anglophone countries in the late 20th century; Konah appears as a rare, contemporary variant influenced by trends like Konnor and Noah-style -ah endings.

Another path links Konah to Kona, the Hawaiian place-name meaning “leeward” or “dry side,” with -h added as a stylistic flourish. The name also occurs independently in West Africa as both given name and surname, especially in Liberia and Sierra Leone, where meanings vary by language. Related forms and nicknames include Conah, Kona, Conor, Connor, Konnor, Conan, Kon, and Ko.
