Eagon Origin and Meaning

The name Eagon is a boy's name.

Eagon is a masculine name with likely Germanic or Anglo-Saxon origins. It may be a variant spelling of the name Egon, which derives from the Germanic element 'eg' meaning 'edge of a sword' or 'sharp blade,' suggesting qualities of sharpness, decisiveness, and protection. Alternatively, it could be a modern adaptation of names like Eagan or Egan, which have Gaelic roots meaning 'fiery' or 'ardent.' Eagon remains quite rare in contemporary usage, making it an uncommon choice for parents seeking distinction. The name has a strong, masculine sound with its hard 'g' and carries a somewhat medieval or mythic quality. Its uniqueness allows bearers to define the name through their own identity rather than through established associations.
