The name Connor is an anglicised form of the historical Gaelic name Conchobhar, which most etymologists agree meant “hound lover.” According to Irish mythology, Conchobhar (Connor) MacNessa, the legendary king of Ulster, was conceived at the same time as Jesus Christ. People remember him most for his unfortunate marriage to Deirdre.
Conchobhar, also known as Conor, was the name of a number of early Irish kings, and the name has been in use ever since antiquity, eventually giving birth to the surname O’Connor. People in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man continue to give their offspring the anglicised form of the name Conor in modern times.
The name has remained popular and is a wonderful choice for modern families with a deep affection for animals, especially dogs. Connors are represented by wolves and hounds because, in Celtic mythology, the legendary warriors depicted by the wolf and canines were revered and considered a blessing.
