Connal Origin and Meaning

The name Connal is a boy's name.

Connal is a masculine name of Irish and Scottish Gaelic origin, derived from the Gaelic name 'Conall,' meaning 'strong wolf' or 'high and mighty.' This powerful name carries the weight of Celtic heritage and appears in several Irish legends, most notably as Conall Cernach, a hero of the Ulster Cycle. Throughout history, the name has maintained steady though modest usage in Ireland and Scotland, occasionally spelled as Connell or Conal. In recent decades, Connal has gained some attention among parents seeking distinctive Celtic names with strong meanings. Its combination of historical significance and appealing sound—featuring the popular 'Con' prefix with a soft ending—makes it an attractive yet uncommon choice.
