Meeghen is Welsh in Origin.

Meeghen is a modern, creative respelling of Meghan/Meaghan, themselves forms of Megan, the Welsh pet name for Margaret. Margaret ultimately comes from Greek Margarites via Latin Margarita, meaning “pearl.” The Irish-influenced digraph “gh” in Meaghan and related spellings reflects Gaelic orthography rather than a change in sound, and Meeghen blends that convention with a long-vowel look.

While Megan has been well established in Wales for centuries, the name and its many variants spread widely through the English‑speaking world in the late 20th century; Meghan and Meaghan peaked in the 1980s–1990s in North America and Ireland, with renewed attention in the 2010s through public figures like Meghan Markle. Related forms include Megan, Meghan, Meaghan, Meagan, Meegen, and Meegan; short forms Meg and Meggie are common. Meeghen keeps the familiar pronunciation MEG‑ən while offering a distinctive twist on a classic “pearl” name.
