Degan

Meaning of Degan

Traditionally male, the name Degan, pronounced DEE-guhn, traces its roots to the Irish Ó Déagáin—loosely interpreted as “little fire”—and has found an unexpected resonance among parents seeking understated distinction. Its crisp two-syllable cadence carries an analytical elegance reminiscent of Persian couplets and the measured poise of Shiraz poets. In the United States, Degan’s annual occurrences have hovered between six and thirteen births since 2020, securing a national rank between 910 and 937—a rarity so pronounced that parents might quip encountering a second Degan at a playground requires the precision of a Persian astrologer. Culturally, the name bridges verdant Celtic valleys and the silent strength of the Elburz mountains, striking a balance between classical gravitas and contemporary ease. With its dry clarity and subtle warmth, Degan promises originality without eccentricity, appealing to those who value both heritage and quiet confidence.
