Con is a short form of the name Conrad, which is of Germanic origin and means "bold". It is also associated with the Latin word 'cum', meaning 'with'. The name has been used throughout history, notably by several notable figures such as American author Kurt Vonnegut's son, who was named after his father's character in the novel "Breakfast of Champions".
The name Con experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a noticeable peak in the late 1920s to early 1930s (1925-1934) when there were consistently higher numbers of births each year. However, it seems that this trend did not continue, as the number of births decreased significantly from 1935 onwards. There is no apparent pattern in the years following the peak period, with varying numbers of births occurring annually.
