Reaghan
Reaghan Origin and Meaning
Reaghan is a masculine name that represents a modern variant spelling of Reagan. The traditional name Reagan originated as an Irish surname derived from "Ó Riagáin," meaning "descendant of Riagán," with the personal name element possibly meaning "little king" or "royal." The spelling variation with "gh" instead of "g" gives the name a more distinctive appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation. While Reagan gained popularity as a unisex name in the United States, particularly after President Ronald Reagan's administration, the Reaghan spelling remains much less common, especially for boys. The name carries Irish heritage connections while the unique spelling adds a contemporary twist, appealing to parents seeking a name with traditional roots but a modern presentation.
