Taegen Origin and Meaning

The name Taegen is a girl's name.

Taegen is a modern feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Teagan, which has Irish Gaelic origins meaning "little poet" or possibly derived from an Irish surname Ó Tadhgáin. This contemporary spelling with the 'ae' combination gives the name a unique, somewhat trendy appeal while maintaining the sound of the more traditional form. Taegen emerged as a given name primarily in the 21st century, reflecting the modern preference for names with distinctive spellings. The name has a gender-neutral quality, though it's more commonly used for girls. Taegen's appeal lies in its contemporary feel combined with Celtic roots, offering parents a name that feels fresh and uncommon while still having traditional underpinnings. Its short, dynamic sound makes it both modern and accessible.
