Meaghon is Irish in Origin.

Meaghon is a rare modern spelling of the name family Megan/Meghan, itself the Welsh pet form of Margaret. Margaret entered English via Latin Margarita and Old French Marguerite from Greek margaritēs, meaning “pearl.” The cluster -eagh- nods to Irish-influenced orthography seen in Meaghan, though Meaghon is far less common; it tends to appear in North America and among families seeking a Celtic-flavored twist while retaining the familiar sound of Megan.

Usage follows the late‑20th‑century boom of Megan and Meghan in Britain, Ireland, Canada, and the United States; Meaghon remains extremely uncommon and modern in feel. Variants include Megan, Meghan, Meaghan, Meghann, Meaghen, and the root Margaret, with diminutives Meg and Meggie. Related international forms are Mairéad (Irish), Marguerite (French), and Margarita (Spanish). Across spellings, the core meaning is “pearl,” and pronunciation typically mirrors MEG‑ən.
