Teigan

Teigan is a feminine name with Gaelic origins, though it's also used as a variant spelling of the Welsh name Tegwen, meaning 'fair' or 'beautiful.' In some interpretations, it may derive from elements meaning 'beautiful' and 'blessed.' This contemporary-sounding name gained modest recognition in Australia and New Zealand before spreading to other English-speaking countries. Teigan's popularity increased in the early 2000s, though it remains a relatively uncommon choice. The name appeals to parents seeking a melodic name with Celtic roots that balances uniqueness with familiar pronunciation. Alternative spellings include Tegan, Teegan, and Tagan, with Teigan offering a softer, more feminine visual impression.
