Brave counsel
Kohner is a modern American spelling variant of the German name Konrad or the Irish name Connor. In its Germanic roots, it combines the elements 'kuoni' meaning brave and 'rad' meaning counsel. As a variant of Connor, it stems from the Gaelic 'Conchobhar', often interpreted as 'lover of hounds'.
