High, lofty, or lover of hounds
Konor is a modern phonetic spelling of the traditional Irish name Connor or Conor. It is derived from the Gaelic name Conchobhar, which likely means 'lover of hounds' or 'high desire.' While the 'K' spelling gives it a contemporary edge, it retains its deep roots in Irish mythology through the figure of Conchobar mac Nessa.
