Meaning and history
Conrad means “brave counsel,” from the Old German elements kuoni, meaning “brave,” and rat, meaning “counsel” or “advice.” It was the name of a 10th-century saint and bishop of Konstanz in southern Germany, and was also used by several medieval German kings and dukes, especially Conrad II, the first Holy Roman Emperor of the Salic dynasty. In England it appeared only occasionally in the Middle Ages and became common only in the 19th century after being reintroduced from Germany.
