Reighan

Reighan is a modern variant spelling of Reagan or Regan, names with Irish origins derived from the Gaelic 'Ó Riagáin' meaning 'little king' or 'royal.' This contemporary spelling incorporates the trendy '-gh-' combination that has become popular in creating distinctive name variations. While traditional Reagan gained popularity as both a masculine and feminine name in the United States—partly due to President Ronald Reagan—this particular spelling remains uncommon, giving it a unique quality. Reighan has the same strong phonetic sound as its more traditional counterparts but offers parents a way to personalize the name. The name fits well with current trends toward Irish-inspired names and creative spellings, while maintaining a recognizable pronunciation.

Reighan is also given to girls.

Pronounced RAY-gun.
