Craig
Craig is an English-language masculine given name of an ultimately Celtic derivation. The name has two origins. In some cases it can originate from a nickname, derived from the Scottish Gaelic word creag, meaning "rock," similar to Peter. In other cases, the given name originates from the Scottish surname Craig, which is also derived from the same Scottish Gaelic word. Cognate forms of creag include the Irish creig, Manx creg, and Welsh craig. The English word "crag" also shares an origin with these Celtic words. The given name Craig is popular in Scotland, and is used throughout the English speaking world, though in North America it is often pronounced with a short vowel sound, as in "egg," while the British pronunciation sounds like the diphthong in "brain."
Conn
Conn is a masculine English- and Irish-language given name, as well as an English-language surname. The origin of the given name is uncertain. It may be related to the Old Irish cond ("intellect" or "mind"), or perhaps to the Old Irish cenn ("head", "chief"). The latter word-origin may have resulted from a popular, but incorrect etymology, applied to the Old Irish terms Leth Cuinn and Dál Cuinn; these terms originally meant "half of the chief" and "tribe of the chief" but were mistakenly regarded to mean "half of Conn" and "tribe of Conn". In some cases the given name is as a short form of non Irish-language names that begin with the first syllable Con- (such as the names Conor and Connor).
Cody
Cody is a primarily masculine given name, given mainly in the English-speaking world. It derives from Ó Cuidighthigh from the Gaelic surname, the anglicised form of Cuidightheach was used as a nickname for a helpful person. Variants are Coty, Kodey, Codie and Kody.
Colton
Colton is a male given name, given mainly in the English-speaking world. He derives Cola of the Anglo-Saxon epithets, which in turn comes from the English word "charcoal" for coal and originally described a person with dark features. Colton in turn stands for a person from a town with coal in connection.
