Connor
Featured in baby name books
Connor is Irish for “lover of hounds,” sometimes “wolf lover,” and was the name of an ancient Irish king. Connor has also been glossed as “much desire,” “longing,” “praised,” or “wise man.” A popular way to celebrate Irish heritage, Connor got a lift from Connor MacLeod in Highlander and is starting to be used for girls. The name honors Sarah Connor and her son John, who lead humanity's fight against the machines in the Terminator films.
