Connaire is the Irish and Scottish Gaelic form of the ancient name Conaire, thought to mean "hound of the people" or "wolf-lord," combining *cú* (hound/wolf) with *aire* (nobleman). Its most famous bearer is Conaire Mór, a legendary High King of Ireland in the medieval saga *Togail Bruidne Dá Derga*, celebrated for his wisdom and tragic fate. The name shares its root with the Irish surname Conroy, while the Scottish variant Conner occasionally appears in place names such as Conner's Glen
