Reagin Origin and Meaning

The name Reagin is a girl's name.

Reagin is a feminine name with Irish and Scottish Gaelic origins. It's derived from the surname Reagan (or Regan), which comes from the Irish 'Ó Riagáin,' meaning 'descendant of Riagán,' a personal name related to 'riog' (king). The feminine spelling with 'in' gives it a softer, more distinctly feminine quality. Reagin gained some attention in the United States following the presidency of Ronald Reagan, though it remains relatively uncommon. The name carries connotations of leadership and strength while maintaining a melodic quality. Reagin has a contemporary feel while honoring Celtic heritage, appealing to parents seeking names with cultural roots but modern appeal.
