Meghann is Welsh in Origin.
Meghann is a modern spelling variant of Megan/Meghan, the Welsh pet form of Margaret. Margaret derives from Latin Margarita, from Greek Margarites, meaning "pearl." The insertion of h and the double n reflect Irish-influenced orthography seen in forms like Meaghan, giving the name a Gaelic-tinged look while keeping the familiar pronunciation MEG-an.
Megan has been used in Wales since at least the 16th century, rose sharply in Britain in the mid-20th century, and became popular in the United States from the 1970s onward; Meghann appears in records mainly from the 1980s-2000s, offering a distinctive but recognizable choice. Related forms include Meghan, Megan, Meaghan, Meagan, and Meggan; diminutives Meg and Meggie; and cognates of Margaret such as Margot, Greta, Gretchen, and Marguerite. The enduring core meaning across all variants is "pearl," connoting purity, rarity, and classic elegance.
