Meaning and background
The story behind Conner
Conner is a recorded spelling variant of Conor. The parent form is an anglicization of Irish Conchobar or the modern Irish form Conchúr, so the name has a documented Irish connection without needing a meaning to be guessed from its English spelling. Conner's doubled n and final er distinguish it in writing from Conor and Connor. For a dog, decide whether that particular spelling has a personal significance and keep it consistent on records; people hearing the name aloud will not necessarily know which version you selected.
