Conrad

Conrad is a strong, traditional German name, derived from the elements 'kuoni', meaning 'brave', and 'rad', meaning 'counsel'. It has been borne by a number of kings and noblemen throughout European history, lending it a regal and authoritative air. Though it may not be as widely used today, its classic nature ensures it retains a certain timeless appeal. Notable figures like the American author Conrad Aiken add to its intellectual charm. For those considering nicknames, 'Con' or 'Rad' could be fun, modern accompaniments.
