Pagan Origin and Meaning

The name Pagan is a boy's name of English origin meaning "from the country, countryman".

Writer Anne Tyler gave this apt name to the hippie child in her novel Amateur Marriage, but she wasn't the first -- it was also used by the Puritans. Today it would be quite a loaded choice.
