The history of the last name Condra

The surname Condra has its origins in Ireland, with records dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to be an Anglicized form of the Irish Gaelic name "O'Connraidh," which means "descendant of Connraidh." Connraidh is a personal name derived from the Old Irish words "conn" meaning "chief" or "leader," and "raidh" meaning "prosperous" or "fortunate."

The Condra family was originally based in County Fermanagh, which is located in the northern part of Ireland. The earliest known record of the name appears in the Fiants of Elizabeth I, a series of documents from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, dated around 1590.

In the 17th century, during the Plantation of Ulster, many Condra families were displaced from their ancestral lands and forced to relocate to other parts of Ireland or emigrate to other countries. Some of the earliest Condra settlers in North America can be traced back to the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

One notable member of the Condra family was John Condra (1785-1862), an Irish politician and landowner who served as a Member of Parliament for County Fermanagh from 1830 to 1847. Another prominent figure was William Condra (1828-1906), an Irish-born American businessman and politician who served as the 25th Mayor of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from 1885 to 1888.

In the United States, the surname Condra has also been associated with several notable individuals, including James Condra (1816-1889), an early settler and farmer in Indiana, and Robert Condra (1902-1996), a renowned American geologist and paleontologist who made significant contributions to the study of fossils and stratigraphy.

Other notable individuals with the surname Condra include William Condra (1870-1938), an English footballer who played for several clubs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and David Condra (born 1985), a Canadian professional ice hockey player who has played in the National Hockey League and various minor leagues.
