Iagan

Iagan is a masculine name with Scottish Gaelic roots, considered a variant of the more common name Eoghan (often anglicized as Owen). The name ultimately derives from the Celtic word 'eugenos,' meaning 'well-born' or 'noble.' This spelling variation maintains the traditional Gaelic sounds while offering a distinctive appearance. Iagan remains relatively rare, even in Scotland, making it an uncommon choice that still carries authentic Celtic heritage. The name might appeal to families with Scottish ancestry looking to honor their roots with a name that's both traditional and uncommon. Its pronunciation (roughly EE-ah-gahn) gives it a melodic quality typical of Gaelic names.

Pronounced EE-gun.
