Beachán Origin and Meaning

The name Beachán is a boy's name.

Beachán is a masculine Irish name pronounced approximately as 'BAY-uh-kawn' or 'BAY-uh-khan'. It derives from ancient Gaelic elements meaning 'little bee' or 'small, busy one'. In Irish tradition, the name was associated with industriousness and sweet nature. Historically, it was borne by an early Irish saint, though it remained relatively uncommon even in Ireland. Beachán has seen very limited use in modern times, making it a rare choice that strongly connects to Irish heritage. The name might appeal to parents seeking an authentic Irish option that's less familiar than popular choices like Aidan or Liam, while still carrying positive traditional symbolism.
