Raygan (RAY-gan / reɪˈgɑn /) is a sunny spin on the Irish surname-turned-given name Reagan, itself rooted in the Old Gaelic Riagán meaning “little king.” It marries the poise of leadership with a playful twist—think of a mini monarch skipping through a modern castle. Families have been tossing it into the mix since the mid-1970s, and though Raygan enjoyed a modest peak in the mid-2010s with over fifty newborns, it’s settled into its current niche—just five little Raygans joined the ranks in 2024—making it a true standout on any classroom roster. With a dash of Celtic heritage, a hint of presidential flair, and plenty of room to grow, Raygan delivers fearless individuality wrapped in warm, approachable charm. For parents hunting that perfect balance of strength and sweetness for their baby girl, Raygan feels like discovering a rare wildflower in a field of daisies.
