Connor (given name)

"Connor" is an Irish and Scottish given name, anglicised from the Celtic word "Conchobhar", meaning "lover of hounds", its popularity likely derived from the name of Conchobar mac Nessa, a semi-legendary king of Ulster described in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. Variant forms of Connor include Conor and Conner. In its native Ireland, the Conor version is among the most popular of boys' given names.

O'Connor

O'Conor (Middle Irish: Ó Conchubhair; Modern Irish: Ó Conchúir), is an Irish Gaelic clan based throughout Connacht but most prominently in what is today County Roscommon, County Mayo and County Sligo. The clan name originated in the 10th century as a derivative of its founder Conchobar mac Taidg Mór. They descend in the paternal line from the Connachta's Uí Briúin Ai. They were originally kings of Connacht in general and of the Síol Muireadaigh; as members of the Uí Briúin were kinsmen of the Mac Diarmata and Ó Flaithbertaigh amongst others. In the 13th century, the Normans began to make gains in Connacht; particularly the Burkes, to the cost of the O'Connors. They split into various smaller areas of power, for instance the O'Connor Don and Roe ruled in County Roscommon while the Ó Conchobhair Sligigh ruled in County Sligo. The current O'Conor Don is Desmond O'Conor Don (b. 22 September 1938) who lives in Rotherfield, East Sussex in England.
