Conners

The surname Conners 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. The name Conners originally appeared in Gaelic as O Conchobhair, derived from the personal name Conchobhar.
