Connor (given name)
Connor is an Irish male given name, anglicised from the compound Irish word Conchobhar, meaning "lover of hounds", or "lover of wolves". The most prominent person with this name in medieval Ireland was the Irish king Conchobar mac Nessa, a semi-legendary king in Ulster described in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, and the name was probably first anglicised to Connor by the Hiberno-Normans.
