Meegen is Welsh in Origin.

Meegen (pronounced MEE-gen) is a modern respelling of Megan, the Welsh pet form of Margaret. Margaret ultimately derives from Greek Margarites, meaning “pearl,” a sense commonly carried by Meegen. The double-e likely arose to signal a long first vowel and to distinguish the name stylistically; it remains rare, appearing occasionally in Anglophone records from the late 20th century onward.

Some bearers may also connect Meegen to the Irish surname Meegan (Ó Miadhacháin), from miadhach, “honorable,” giving it a parallel Irish heritage. Usage patterns mirror those of Megan and Meghan, which surged in Britain, Ireland, and North America in the 1980s–1990s, with renewed visibility in the 2010s.
