Conall

From Irish tales and folklore to the baby name charts today, Conall is a boy’s name that packs a powerful punch. The masculine name means “rule of a wolf,” “high,” or “mighty,” after Irish legendary hero Conall Cearnach, who fought to avenge the death of his foster brother Cuchalainn. Times have changed and fighting doesn’t quite have the same appeal, but this sense of family loyalty is as important now as ever. Conall has been a popular name in Gaelic countries for centuries, but has become a more popular choice overseas after Sally Rooney’s Normal People hit screens in 2020. With legendary Conall Cearnach and the series' Connell Waldron to be inspired by, it’s time for this little boy to begin his own story.
