Konnor

Boy name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Konnor: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2011.

Konnor is a modern spelling variant of Connor, an anglicised form of the Irish Gaelic Conchobhar, traditionally meaning “lover of hounds” or “wolf-lover.” In professional wrestling, Konnor (real name Ryan Parmeter) is known as one half of the tag team The Ascension, bringing the name into contemporary pop culture. While no major place directly bears the Konnor spelling, the root Conchobhar gave rise to the ancient kingdom of Connacht in Ireland, and Connor itself appears in place names across Northern Ireland and the Scottish lowlands. This particular spelling has grown steadily in Scotland since the late twentieth century, offering a more distinctive twist on a classic name while keeping its strong, warrior-like heritage intact.
