Konal is in Origin.

Konal is a modern cross-cultural given name that most often traces to two sources: a K-initial respelling of Irish Conal/Conall, from Old Irish con (hound/wolf) + gal (valor, prowess), borne by early saints and heroes such as Conall Cernach; or a creative variant of the South Asian name Kunal (Sanskrit Kunala), linked to Emperor Ashoka's son and glossed as "lotus" or "one with lotus-like eyes."

Its current use is rare but visible in Anglophone regions, especially among families seeking a familiar sound with distinctive spelling. Variants and related forms include Conal, Conall, Conal (with accent), Connell, and Conan on the Gaelic side, and Kunal, Kunaal, and Kunala on the Sanskrit side. Accordingly, the meaning attached to Konal varies by tradition: "valorous hound/wolfhound" in Gaelic usage, or "lotus; lotus-eyed" in South Asian usage. Short forms include Kon or Ko; possible feminine counterparts are modern unisex Conall or Sanskrit-derived Kunali.
