konnor is Irish in Origin.
Konnor is a modern K-variant of Connor, the Anglicized form of Irish Conchobhar (Modern Irish Conchúr; Old Irish Conchobar). The name is commonly interpreted as "lover of hounds" or "hound-desiring," with an alternate scholarly gloss of "high desire," reflecting the prestige of hunting dogs in early Gaelic culture. It entered English via medieval Ireland and Scotland, attached to legendary figures like Conchobar mac Nessa of the Ulster Cycle and to several early Irish rulers and saints, which helped the Connor/Conor forms endure.
Variants and related spellings include Conor (traditional Irish), Connor (standard English), Konnor, Konner, and, as a surname form, O'Connor (Ó Conchobhair). Usage is largely masculine, though modern American naming trends sometimes treat Konnor as unisex. The K-spelling gained U.S. visibility in the late 1990s and 2000s. Short forms include Con/Kon. Overall meaning centers on loyalty, bravery, and the storied bond between warriors and their hounds.
