Megyn (pronounced MEG-in, /ˈmɛɡ.ɪn/) is a contemporary twist on the timeless Welsh name Megan—a diminutive of Margaret meaning “pearl”—imbuing it with an understated brilliance reminiscent of a lone gem resting at the bottom of a temple pond. With roots in medieval Europe and a refreshed spelling that lends originality, Megyn marries the warm familiarity of tradition with the fresh energy of innovation, much like the first monsoon-rippled lotus unfurling at dawn. Although it has never stormed the baby-name charts—peaking modestly in the late 1980s with fewer than ten newborns and appearing only half a dozen times in recent years—its rarity only deepens its allure. For parents seeking a name that radiates quiet strength and individual flair—akin to the intricate patterns on a glowing diya—Megyn offers a poetic balance of heritage and modernity. Its lighthearted consonance and soft vowel ending lend it an inviting, almost melodic quality—no tongue-twisting litanies required at family gatherings—making it a graceful choice for a little girl destined to shine with both poise and personality.
