Meaning & origin
Coner is a rare given name in the United States, first recorded in 1992. It has never entered the top 1,000 names, reflecting its low usage. The name's peak occurred in 2005, but it has remained stable on the charts with very few births per year. While its meaning is uncertain, it is likely a variant of Conner or a modern respelling. Given its rarity, it carries a distinctive quality for parents seeking an uncommon name with Irish roots. The name's trajectory shows consistent but minimal usage, appealing to those who favor names like Conner but want to avoid more common spellings associated with the Connor surname.
Coner is likely a variant of Conner, itself an anglicized form of the Irish name Conchobhar or the surname Ó Conchobhair, meaning 'wolf lover' or 'hound of desire.' In modern times, Coner is used as a given name, possibly influenced by the surname Connor or as a respelling of Conner.
