Keigon is Irish in Origin.

Keigon is a rare, modern given name found chiefly in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century. Its formation suggests two plausible sources: a creative spin on the Irish surname-given Keegan, or a Japanese-style compound built from Kei (a common element meaning “respect,” “joy,” “blessing,” or “scenery”) and -gon (a Sino-Japanese reading seen in characters meaning “word,” “principle,” or “authority”). Though visually reminiscent of Kegon - the East Asian Buddhist “Flower Garland” tradition - Keigon is used as a personal name rather than a religious term. Usage remains uncommon and primarily masculine.

Meaning depends on the intended lineage. As a Keegan-adjacent name, it echoes “descendant of Aodhagán,” tied to Aodh, “fire,” yielding the sense “little fire.” Interpreted via Japanese elements, it can suggest “respectful words” or “joyful principle,” depending on kanji choice. Variant forms and near-relations include Keigan, Kaigon, Keegan, and Keagan; short forms may include Kei.
