Maeghin is Irish in Origin.

Maeghin is a rare modern respelling of Meghan/Meaghan, tracing back to Welsh Megan, the traditional pet form of Margaret. Ultimately from Greek Margarites (Latin Margarita), it carries the meaning "pearl." The -eagh- cluster mirrors Irish-influenced spellings such as Meaghan, while the final -in reflects the common English MEG-uhn ending, giving Maeghin a familiar sound with a distinctive look.

Used only sporadically since the late 20th century, Maeghin sits alongside a wide family of variants: Megan, Meghan, Meaghan, Meagan, and Meggan; with related international forms Margaret, Marguerite, Margot, Greta, Rita, and Daisy (from French Marguerite). The broader name group rose sharply in the UK and United States from the 1960s through the 1990s, buoyed by cultural figures, while remaining perennial in Wales. Maeghin preserves the timeless "pearl" symbolism in a creative, uncommon package.
