Meaghanne is a modern elaboration of the Welsh name Megan/Meghan, a pet form of Margaret. Margaret derives from Greek Margarites via Latin Margarita, meaning “pearl.” The silent gh reflects Irish-influenced spellings such as Meaghan, while the -anne ending visually echoes Anne; despite the look, the underlying etymology remains Margaret’s “pearl.”

Megan is attested in Wales by the early modern period and spread widely in Britain; it rose across the English-speaking world in the late twentieth century, with Meghan and Meagan gaining ground in North America. Meaghanne itself is very rare, used chiefly in creative naming since the 1980s–1990s, and understood as equivalent to Megan. Pronunciations are typically MEG-an, sometimes MAY-gan. Variants and related forms include Megan, Meghan, Meagan, Meaghan, Meganne, and Meg; broader cognates are Margaret, Margot, Greta, Maisie, and Pearl. Meaning retained across spellings: “pearl.”
