| I think Connor's name had Irish origins. Few days ago I'd read one book that used to speak about Uther Pendragon ( King Arthur's father ) and wizard Merlino ( I don't know if in english the name is the same ! ) a book between history and legend. This book also told about celtic populations and a lot of soldiers, one of those was named Connor who fighting for the conquer more lands they had to own. What do you know something about it ?

| | I can't say that I've ever read about Connor's origins though, with a name like his, it sounds as though there should be an Irish connection. Maybe someone can ask him at the Utopia con in a few weeks? |

| | I think that he comes from Washington originally, I remember reading it some time ago. I just looked up the meaning of the name 'Connor' and it does have Irish origins. Apparently it means 'champion' and is one of the most illustrious of Irish names! My name is Phil and Philip means 'Wild Horses'!!! I wouldn't mind but horses tend to go wild if I go anywhere near one.

| His familial origins are Irish and Native American. (I think it was Cherokee.) There might be something else in there, I don't remember. He's been asked about his nationality at con Q & A's.

| | The first name "Connor" is derived from Old Irish Conchobar/Conchobhar (and various other spellings) which is pronounced somewhat like "connoher". The most famous person with that name was the legendary King Conchobar mac Nessa who reigned in Emain Macha and who features in the story of Deirdre and the Sons of Uisnech. The surname "Trinneer" has been claimed as either French or Irish. If it is Irish, it does not follow the traditional way Irish names are formed, but a few centuries of anglicising could do the trick.

Cher's mother was part Cherokee while Burt Reynolds' father was Irish - Cherokee! |
