Conor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conor is an Irish male first name that may have been derived either from the Irish name Conchobar or from the name Conaire, found in Irish legend as the name of the high king Conaire Mór and other heroes. Conor has recently become a popular name in North America and in Great Britain, although outside Ireland the name is often spelled Connor, traditionally the spelling of the surname (Irish Ó Conchúir, anglicized as O'Connor). However, in some instances Conor may be the name of a non-Irish person. The meaning of the name "Conor" is that of "Hound-lover".
