Literal meaning not settled across the reviewed Irish accounts.
Woulfe explains Conn through an older word associated with sense, reason or intelligence, also recording freeman. The modern dictionary instead links its older form with Conall. These accounts are retained as alternatives; this review does not establish one universal translation.
Irish name inherited from Old Irish; deeper derivation disputed in the reviewed accounts.
The Irish personal-name entry records Old Irish inheritance. The older root interpretations need separate evaluation rather than a universal high or mighty gloss.
Not yet published for this spelling.
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| England & Wales | 2010 | Boys | 4 | 3865 | Historical source: not all years independently cross-checked. Rank basis: source published. |
| Northern Ireland | 2025 | Boys | 26 | 90 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Ireland | 2025 | Boys | 30 | 165 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 1989 | Boys | 5 | 7905 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
Canada, Ireland and France coverage includes confidently matched existing profiles only; unmatched spellings are awaiting review. French counts are rounded to five.
