Keagen
Keagen Origin and Meaning
Keagen is a modern masculine name with Irish and Gaelic roots, emerging as a contemporary variation of the more traditional Keegan. Derived from the Irish surname Mac Aodhagáin, meaning 'son of Aodhagán' (a diminutive of Aodh, meaning 'fire'), Keagen carries connotations of passion and spirit. The modified spelling with an 'e' instead of 'a' gives a fresh twist while maintaining the appealing sound of the original. This name began gaining modest attention in the United States during the early 2000s as part of the trend toward Irish-inspired names with modern spellings. Keagen projects a youthful, energetic image while still carrying traditional Celtic heritage. Though less common than Keegan, it offers a distinctive alternative that balances uniqueness with recognizability and easy pronunciation.
