O'Connor is an Irish surname derived from the Gaelic O'Conchobhair, which indicates that the bearer is a son of Conchobar, king of Connacht. This given name is composed of cu, meaning a hound, and cobhar, a want or desire.
The surname Conner was first found in Connacht. There were six different septs of this famous name scattered throughout Ireland, of which four continue to boast many members. However, the most important O'Connors were those of Connacht, divided into three main branches: O'Conor Don; O'Conor Roe; and O'Conor Sligo.
