Connor is an Irish male given name, anglicised from the compound Irish word "Conchobhar", meaning "lover of hounds". Its popularity likely derived from the name of Conchobar mac Nessa, a semi-legendary king of Ulster in Dál Riata described in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. Variant forms of Connor appear across the British isles and include Conor and Conner.[1] In the Catholic tradition of latinising names, for purposes of baptism and confirmation, it is often translated to 'Cornelius'.[2]
