Meghanne is Welsh in Origin.
Meghanne is a modern elaboration of Meghan/Meghann, themselves variants of Megan, the Welsh pet form of Margaret. Margaret derives from Greek Margaritēs, "pearl," a meaning inherited by all related forms. The -anne ending echoes French orthography and may reflect influence from names like Anne or Jeanne, giving the spelling a Francophone flair while retaining the same pronunciation as Meghan (MEG-ən).
Use of Meghanne appears sporadically from the late 20th century, especially in North America and occasionally in Francophone regions, as parents sought a distinctive twist on popular Megan/Meghan. The broader Megan family has medieval Welsh roots but rose sharply in English-speaking countries from the 1970s through the 1990s; Meghan saw parallel success and renewed visibility in the 2010s. Related forms include Megan, Meghan, Meghann, Meganne, Meagan, Meaghan, and French Mégane; diminutives include Meg and Meggie. Meaning remains "pearl."
