Egann Origin and Meaning

The name Egann is a boy's name.

Egann appears to be a creative variation of the Irish name Egan or Eoghan, which derives from Celtic roots meaning 'born of the yew' or 'youth.' The doubled 'n' adds a distinctive touch to this traditional name. Egan itself comes from the Irish surname Ó hAodhagáin, related to the word 'aodhagán,' a diminutive of 'Aodh' meaning 'fire.' Egann carries the strong Celtic heritage of its root name while presenting a unique spelling that sets it apart. This uncommon variation maintains the strong, masculine quality of the original while feeling slightly more contemporary through its modified spelling. The name has a crisp, clear pronunciation and works well internationally. Despite its rarity, Egann connects to deep Irish traditions while offering parents a fresh twist on an ancient name, blending historical substance with modern distinctiveness.
