About Raegan
There were only ten baby boys named Raegan last year....and 1000 baby girls. But there's no reason this Irish surname name, a variation of the more popular and Presidential Reagan, can work equally well for all genders.
Raegan for girls#506 US
Less popular than Reagan, but more popular than Regan, Raegan is a spelling option for the popular Irish surname. It followed Reagan up the charts in the 90s, perhaps due to its similarity to Morgan, but in recent years, use of Raegan has declined
With the cool meaning "little king", Raegan feels like it could be a modern and on trend option, however, it is in fact linked to an old surname, a Shakespearean character, and a president. Given to around 730 girls each year, Raegan remained in the US Top 500 for 2023, with parents selecting it perhaps to make the pronunciation more obvious and to get nickname Rae.
Pronounced RAY-gun.
As of October 2026, Raegan ranked #13426 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4337 in 1956.
