O'connor Family History
O'connor Name Meaning
Irish (Derry, Connacht, Munster): Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó
Conchobhair ‘descendant of Conchobhar’, a personal name
which is said to have begun as Cú Chobhair, from
cú ‘hound’ (genitive con) + cobhar ‘desiring’,
i.e. ‘hound of desire’. Present-day bearers of the surname claim
descent from a 10th-century king of Connacht of this name. In Irish
legend, Conchobhar was a king of Ulster who lived at around the time
of Christ and who adopted the youthful Cú Chulainn.
