About the name Conrad

Conrad has the clean square-jawed sound of a mid-century leading man and the medieval German pedigree to back it up. It has been drifting below the radar for decades, which makes it one of the better options for parents who want strong without loud.

Conrad is a boy name of Germanic origin, pronounced KON-rad. On the NameRarity scale it scores 69 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1920s.
