Oconal is Irish in Origin.

Oconal is a modern, rare given name plausibly shaped by Irish Gaelic elements. It echoes Conall/Conal, an early Irish personal name from Old Irish con (hound, wolf) + gal (valor, prowess), yielding meanings such as valiant hound or strong wolf. The initial O- recalls the Gaelic patronymic Ó, meaning descendant of, as in Ó Conaill (anglicized O'Connell), so Oconal reads as a creative nod to descendant of Conall.

Conall appears widely in early medieval Ireland and Scotland - borne by figures like Conall Gulban and several saints - and later persisted in the surname Ó Conaill/O'Connell and in revived given-name use. Oconal itself has scant documentation and remains uncommon, fitting modern taste for distinctive Celtic-flavored choices. Variants and related forms include O'Conal, Oconall, O'Conall, O'Connell (surname), and the forenames Conall, Conal, Connell, and Connelly. Common nicknames: Con or Conn; typically masculine but sometimes unisex today.
