Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Connagh: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2021.
Connagh, a distinctly Scottish name, is a variant of the Gaelic name Conchobhar (anglicised as Conor), meaning ‘lover of hounds’ or ‘wolf-lover’. The name is deeply rooted in Irish and Scottish mythology, most famously borne by the legendary King Conchobar mac Nessa of Ulster, a central figure in the Ulster Cycle tales. While not a common modern name, it carries a strong, ancient feel. The root appears in the place name Conwy in Wales, though that likely shares a different Brythonic root. Notable modern bearers include the Scottish musician Connagh Graham, keeping the name's quiet heritage alive. It remains a rare but evocative choice, offering a more rugged and direct alternative to the popular Connor.
