Maegon is English in Origin.

Maegon is a rare modern revival rooted in Old English mægen, meaning “strength, might,” and by extension “host, army.” It shares the Proto-Germanic base *magin- with Old Norse megin (as in Megingjörð, Thor’s “belt of strength”) and Old High German megin. Likely pronounced MAY-gən or MAY-gon, the name carries a crisp, martial sense of power and capability.

In early medieval Germanic naming, the element mægen/megin appeared chiefly in compounds - e.g., Old High German Meginhard (source of Maynard/Meinhard) and Meginfrid - rather than as a standalone given name. As a contemporary given name, Maegon remains uncommon but fits with revived Anglo-Saxon choices. Variant spellings include Mægen (scholarly), Maegen, and Megin; related forms occur in Scandinavian and German contexts. Do not confuse Maegon with Megan, the Welsh pet form of Margaret meaning “pearl,” which is etymologically unrelated.
