Macegan Origin and Meaning

The name Macegan is a boy's name.

Macegan is a modern masculine name that appears to be a blended creation combining elements of traditional names. It likely incorporates the Scottish/Irish prefix 'Mac' meaning 'son of' with 'Egan' (an Irish name meaning 'little fire' or 'fiery'). Alternatively, it could be a creative blend of 'Mace' and 'Egan' or a variation of 'Keegan.' This contemporary name emerged primarily in the late 20th or early 21st century as part of the trend toward unique, distinctive names with Celtic undertones. While relatively uncommon, Macegan offers parents seeking originality a name with apparent Irish/Scottish heritage and a strong, masculine sound.
