Meggan

Meggan is a feminine name that serves as an alternative spelling of Megan, which originated as a Welsh diminutive of Margaret, meaning "pearl." This variant spelling emerged during the 1970s and 1980s when Megan was at its peak popularity, offering parents a way to use the beloved name with a distinctive twist. The doubled 'g' gives the name a slightly different visual character while maintaining the same pronunciation. Meggan enjoyed modest popularity during this period but has always been less common than the standard Megan spelling. The name carries the same friendly, approachable quality as its more traditional counterpart, combining Celtic heritage with contemporary style. Meggan projects an image of warmth and accessibility while still maintaining connections to its ancient Welsh origins.
