Ancient root and name story

Origin: Irish. Meaning: derived from a surname rather than a settled word. Reagan comes from an Irish surname, an Anglicized form of Ó Riagáin, which in turn derives from the given name Riagán.

Because the surname stands behind it, the sometimes-cited sense of little king should be treated as unconfirmed rather than a proven meaning. The verified source supports the surname route, not a fixed translation.

The surname was famously borne by the American actor and president Ronald Reagan. As a given name it took off in the 1990s and has been more common for girls in the United States, likely because it resembles names such as Megan, Morgan, and Regan.
