Konrad is the German, Polish, and Scandinavian form of the ancient Germanic name Conrad, which derives from the elements "kuoni" (bold or brave) and "rad" (counsel), giving the meaning "brave counsel." The most famous bearer is probably the Polish-born English novelist Joseph Conrad, whose birth name was Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski. The name also belonged to Konrad Adenauer, the first post-war Chancellor of West Germany, and Konrad Lorenz, the Nobel Prize-winning Austrian zoologist. In terms of place connections, the surname Konrad has influenced several place names in Central Europe, though direct Scottish links are rare. A related variant is Coinnich in Scottish Gaelic, making Konrad a distinctive choice for parents who want a strong European name with a hint of kinship to Scotland's own naming heritage.
