Conan

Conan is a traditional Irish name with roots in the Gaelic language. It is derived from the elements 'cú' meaning 'hound' or 'wolf,' and 'Án' meaning 'vigor,' 'luster,' or 'splendor.'

The name has been associated with several legendary figures in Irish mythology, including the famous warrior Conan Maol, who was known for his bravery and skill in battle.

In modern times, the name gained popularity due to the fictional character Conan the Barbarian, created by author Robert E. Howard in the 1930s. This depiction of Conan as a powerful and heroic figure may have contributed to the name's appeal.

While Conan has Irish roots, it has been adopted across various cultures and is recognized as a strong, masculine name with connotations of vigor, courage, and perhaps a connection to nature or the wilderness.
