Faggan Origin and Meaning

The name Faggan is a boy's name.

Faggan is a rare masculine name with likely Irish and Gaelic origins. It may have evolved as a variant of the surname Fagan, which derives from the Gaelic 'Ó Faodhagáin,' meaning 'descendant of Faodhagán' (a personal name possibly meaning 'little fire'). As a given name, Faggan remains exceptionally uncommon, appearing infrequently in historical records. The name carries a strong, distinctive sound with ancient Celtic connections. While some surname-based first names have gained popularity, Faggan has remained obscure, perhaps due to potential pronunciation challenges or its unfamiliarity in modern naming trends. For families with Irish heritage, it might serve as a unique connection to ancestral roots.
