The etymology of the name Conan is far from certain. It can be as easily equated to "lust"="conann" or proto-Celtic words relating to wolf or dog. MacBain's An Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language (Scottish Gaelic)

I'm sure I remember reading about a Conan who was an astronomer to one of the Ptolemaic Pharaohs of Egypt. Perhaps he was a Gaulish or Galatian druid. Does anybody know more about this?

Detective Conan
editShouldn't the Japanese anime series Detective Conan (and its eponymous lead character) be included? ok, they are, but it's not obvious; the publicity that I have seen all calls the series 'Detective Conan' not 'Case Closed'. m.e. (talk) 16:29, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Arthur Conan Doyle
editI have removed a link to Arthur Conan Doyle because, to my knowledge, he is never called simply "Conan". His birth name was Doyle and he is often referred to as Conan Doyle. The linked page calls him Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, Conan Doyle, and Doyle, and his obituary called him Sir Arthur, but I know of no sources calling him Conan without the Doyle.
