Konan

Meaning of Konan

Konan, pronounced KOH-nuhn (/koʊnən/), is a vibrant choice for a baby boy, rooted in the Celtic name Conán—bold enough to mean “little wolf” or “keen hound.” It carries the sturdy courage of old-world heroes and the friendly warmth of a loyal companion, weaving ancient lore into everyday life. With just 10 American newborns named Konan in 2024 (rank 914) and steady gains from 7 to 18 over recent years, it remains a rare gem that quietly charts its course. Its Gaelic heritage dances with an Anglo-American cool, offering storybook charm and effortless ease—like a compass pointing true north for families craving a name that stands apart but never feels out of reach. Plus, it comes with built-in nickname options—Kon, Kono, or simply a nod—keeping things playful. Compact and confident, Konan makes a lasting impression without a moment’s hesitancy.
