Conor

Conor is an anglicized form of the Irish name Conchobar, composed of the Old Irish elements conn, meaning "intellect" or "chief," and cobar, meaning "desiring," giving an overall sense of "lover of hounds" or "desiring higher things," though the precise interpretation has been debated by scholars. The name was borne by several figures in early Irish history and legend, most notably Conchobar mac Nessa, the king of Ulster in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. It remains a popular given name in Ireland and among those of Irish heritage. Related forms include Connor, the most common anglicized spelling, as well as the Scottish variant Conall and the Latinized form Cornelius sometimes used as an equivalent.
