Konan

Konan comes from a blend of rich heritages, carrying meanings from both Gaelic and Japanese origins. In Gaelic, it translates to 'Little wolf', a nod to its roots in the name 'Conán', which combines 'con' meaning 'hound' or 'wolf' with a diminutive suffix. This gives Konan a strong, enduring feel, evoking images of loyalty and bravery. When viewed through a Japanese lens, Konan means 'Small south', formed by the kanji for 'small' and 'south', which adds a unique geographical twist to its character.
