“Anglicised form of the Irish "Conchobar" or "Conchobhar", derived from "con" (dog or wolf, used as an honorific for a great warrior) and "cobhar" (desiring or loving) — together possibly meaning "lover of hounds" or "wolf-lover". Conchobar mac Nessa was the king of Ulster in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, the lord who ruled over the great warriors including Cúchulainn.”
Nollaig

Roisin
“Derived from the Irish word "rós" meaning "rose" combined with the diminutive suffix "-ín", giving the full meaning "little rose".
