Keeghan Origin and Meaning

Keeghan is a modern variant of the Irish name Keegan, which derives from the Gaelic surname Mac Aodhagáin, meaning 'son of Aodhagán' (a diminutive of Aodh, meaning 'fire'). This masculine name combines traditional Irish roots with a contemporary spelling, giving it a distinctive character. While less common than Keegan, Keeghan has gained some popularity in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century. Parents may choose this variation for its unique spelling while maintaining the authentic Irish heritage. Keeghan conveys strength and vibrancy, carrying the powerful symbolism of fire from its ancient origins while offering a slightly unique twist on a more familiar name.
