Connor is an Irish male given name, anglicised from the compound Irish word "Conchobhar", meaning "Lover of wolves” or "master of hounds" and sometimes taken to mean "hunter".[1] The most prominent person with this name in medieval Ireland was the Irish king Conchobar mac Nessa, a semi-legendary king in Ulster described in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, and the name was probably first anglicised to 'Conor' by the Hiberno-Normans.[citation needed]
