Meigin is Welsh in Origin.

Meigin is a rare modern spelling of the Welsh name Megan, itself a pet form of Margaret. Margaret traces to Greek Margarites, meaning "pearl," a sense that Meigin inherits. Megan was used in Wales from the Middle Ages, then spread through England and the wider English-speaking world, achieving major popularity in the late 20th century; that rise encouraged numerous creative variants, among which Meigin appears occasionally in records but remains uncommon.

Pronunciation is typically MAY-gin or MAY-guhn, paralleling Megan. Closely related or stylistically adjacent forms include Megan, Meghan, Meaghan, Meagan, Maegan, Meighan, Meegan, and Megyn. The spelling also echoes the Irish surname Meighan (from O Miadhachain, "kind, gentle"), which sometimes guides parents' choices, though that surname has a separate origin. In contemporary use, Meigin blends a familiar, classic meaning with distinctive orthography.
