Meaning of Reegan

The name Reegan, pronounced REE-guhn (/ˈriːɡən/), is a versatile unisex name with a modern appeal. It is a variation of the name Regan, which has roots in both Irish and English origins. In Irish, it derives from "Ríogán," meaning "little king," while in English literature, Regan appears as one of King Lear's daughters in Shakespeare's famous play. This dual heritage gives the name Reegan a rich cultural background and literary association.

Reegan has experienced fluctuating popularity over the years in the United States. Notably, its highest rank was in 2012 when it reached 2354th place with 79 occurrences. The name saw a peak in usage during the early 2000s but has since become less common, maintaining its unique charm for parents seeking an uncommon yet familiar-sounding name for their child.

With its strong yet gentle sound and gender-neutral versatility, Reegan continues to be an appealing choice for modern families looking for a name that carries historical significance and contemporary style.
