Meghaan is English, Welsh in Origin.

Meghaan is a modern, embellished spelling of Meghan/Meaghan, themselves spelling variants of Welsh Megan, a pet diminutive of Margaret. Margaret derives from Greek Margarites, meaning "pearl," carried into medieval Europe through Latin and French and sustained by the widespread cult of Saint Margaret. Megan became established in Wales, later spreading through Britain and North America in the 20th century; its peak was the 1980s-1990s, while Meghaan remains an uncommon contemporary variant fashioned to look distinctive yet familiar.

Standard variants and cognates include Megan, Meghan, Meaghan, Meagan, Meggan, and Meighan; broader Margaret forms are Margot/Margo, Marguerite, Margarita, Margherita, Greta, Gretchen, and Maisie. While some may infer influence from the South Asian name Megha ("cloud"), Meghaan in English contexts is typically pronounced like MEG-un and interpreted within the Margaret family, preserving the classic meaning "pearl".
