Connelly
Meaning of Connelly
Connelly is a spirited unisex name with deep Irish roots, tracing back to the Gaelic Ó Conghalaigh, meaning “valiant” or “fierce as a hound.” Warm in its sound—KAHN-uh-lee—it rolls off the tongue like a gentle river forging new paths, and has quietly nudged its way into American birth records, landing around the 939th spot in 2024 with eleven tiny adventurers proudly bearing the name. It conjures images of lush green landscapes and storytelling by firelight, while also fitting right into modern classrooms and offices with its polished, surname-turned-first-name flair. Not just reserved for silver-screen stars or athletic dynamos—though it feels right at home on either stage—Connelly carries a spark of originality and strength that inspires confidence and creativity. Perfect for parents seeking a name woven from tradition and a dash of contemporary shine, Connelly invites each child to write their own chapter, fierce in spirit and warm at heart.
