About Connar

Spelling variation of Connor, an early semi-legendary king of Ulster in Irish mythology.

Connar for girls

Connar as a feminine name is a modern variant of the traditionally male name Connor, which has Irish Gaelic origins meaning 'lover of hounds' or 'wolf lover.' While typically associated with boys, Connar with this spelling has gained some usage for girls as part of the trend toward gender-neutral naming. The alternative spelling with an 'a' gives it a slightly softer, more feminine touch compared to the traditional male version. As a female name, Connar remains relatively uncommon, appealing to parents looking for a strong, distinctive name with Celtic roots that breaks gender conventions.
