Teaghan
Teaghan Origin and Meaning
Teaghan is a modern feminine name with Irish and Gaelic influences, likely derived as a variant spelling of Teagan, which comes from the Irish surname Ó Tadhgáin, meaning 'descendant of Tadhgán' (a diminutive of Tadhg, meaning 'poet' or 'philosopher'). The distinctive spelling with an 'h' adds a contemporary touch while maintaining the melodic Irish sound. Teaghan began gaining modest popularity in the early 2000s, appealing to parents seeking Celtic-inspired names with a fresh feel. While more commonly given to girls, it occasionally appears as a unisex option. The name blends traditional Irish heritage with modern sensibilities, offering a balance between uniqueness and accessibility. Its lyrical quality and cultural roots make it appealing across English-speaking countries.
