Conan is an Irish name meaning "little wolf" from the element cú meaning "wolf, hound" combined with a diminutive suffix.
My first thoughts when it comes to Conan are foxes (not wolves unfortunately), red hair (thanks to O'Brien), and Sherlock Holmes' author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Actually, if I think on it for a bit, I also remember Conan the Barbarian, created by Robert E. Howard.
Conan feels earthy but fresher than names like Rowan and Ronan as well. Though I quite like Ronan!
