About Konan
Konan is a spelling twist on the more familiar Irish Conan, given to a few dozen baby boys in the US last year. In the Irish language, there is no letter K but Irish names such as Ciaran and Caitlin are often "Anglicized" with K spellings as in Kieran and Katelyn, so Konan is not a stretch.

Pronounced KOH-nun.
As of October 2026, Konan ranked #4327 in US births in 2025 SSA.
