masculine · English (Modern) origin
Konnor is a modern English spelling variant of Connor, an anglicization of the Irish name Conchobhar, which is thought to derive from Old Irish elements meaning either dog lover or lover of hounds, though some scholars connect it to a root meaning desire or will. The name was borne by several early Irish kings, most notably Conchobar mac Nessa, a legendary High King of Ulster prominent in Irish mythology. Connor and Conor remain the more traditional spellings, with Konnor representing a contemporary phonetic variation popular in English-speaking countries.
