Teegan Origin and Meaning

The name Teegan is a boy's name.

Teegan is a modern masculine name with Irish and Welsh influences, though it's used for both genders in contemporary naming. From Irish origins, it may derive from 'Tadhgán,' a diminutive of Tadhg meaning 'poet' or 'philosopher.' The Welsh interpretation connects it to 'teg,' meaning 'fair' or 'beautiful.' Teegan emerged in popularity during the late 20th century as part of the trend toward Celtic-inspired names with contemporary sounds. The name has a youthful, energetic quality with its dynamic 'T' beginning and rhythmic sound pattern. While still not among the most common names, Teegan has gained steady appreciation, particularly in English-speaking countries, for its distinctive sound that balances traditional roots with modern appeal.
