Meaning and background
The story behind Condor
Condor has surname histories beyond the bird association. The dictionary records an English Conder variant, an altered Hungarian Kondor form, and an Amerindian and Spanish Cóndor route involving the Quechuan-origin bird word. These cannot all be reduced to the same derivation. A dog owner may deliberately choose the bird imagery, while a family-name tribute could follow either of the other spelling histories documented for this exact form.
