What is the meaning of the name Meaghin ?

The baby name Meaghin is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MAY-gin (ˈmeɪɡən),MEE-gin (ˈmiːɡən).

Meaghin is Irish, Welsh in Origin.

Meaghin is a rare modern respelling of Meghan/Meaghan, itself a form of Welsh Megan, the pet form of Margaret. Ultimately from Greek Margarites, it carries the meaning "pearl." The inserted -gh- reflects Irish-influenced orthography seen in Meaghan; pronunciation typically mirrors Megan/Meghan (MEG-ən or MAY-gən).

Megan has long been used in Wales and spread across the English-speaking world, rising sharply in the late twentieth century; creative spellings like Meaghin appear chiefly in North America from that period onward. Common variants include Megan, Meghan, Meaghan, Megyn, Meagen, and Meegan, with short forms Meg, Meggie, and Maggie; related international equivalents are Margaret, Mairéad (Irish), Margot, Greta, Rita, and Maisie. With its luminous "pearl" meaning and distinctive look, Meaghin offers a familiar sound wrapped in a rarer, Celtic-leaning spelling.
