Connall is a name of Gaelic origin, derived from the Old Irish *Conall*, meaning "strong wolf" or "wolf ruler," from *cú* (hound/wolf) and *gal* (valour). In Scottish and Irish mythology, Conall Cernach was a legendary hero of the Red Branch Knights, famed for his ferocity and loyalty. The name also appears in early Scottish history: Conall mac Comgaill was a 6th-century king of Dál Riata, a kingdom spanning parts of modern Scotland and Ireland. While no major places are directly named after Connall, the root *con* appears in many Scottish place names like Connel in Argyll. A common variant is the Irish spelling Conall, which remains popular in both Scotland and Ireland today.
