Megon

Meaning of Megon

Megon is a feminine given name that likely originated as an alternative spelling of Megan, itself a Welsh diminutive of Margaret meaning “pearl.” In English, it is pronounced MEE-gən, reflecting a subtle shift from its more familiar counterpart. Although it has never broken into the upper tiers of popularity—peaking in 1989 with twelve recorded births and a rank of 817—Megon has maintained a quiet presence in U.S. Social Security data since the late 1950s. Its understated rarity and clear etymological roots offer parents an approachable choice with a hint of unconventional flair, and a young Megon is unlikely to wait long for her name to be called at the playground.
