Raegan is Irish in Origin.
Raegan is a modern variant of Reagan, a given name derived from the Irish surname Ó Riagáin (Ó Ríagáin), meaning “descendant of Riagán.” The personal name Riagán is commonly analyzed from rí “king” + the diminutive -án, yielding the popular sense “little king”; some scholars also connect it to riag, implying “impetuous” or “fiery.”
As a surname, Reagan/O’Regan belonged to several medieval Gaelic families, and the Shakespearean form Regan (REE-gən) appears in King Lear. As a first name in the Anglophone world, usage rose in the late 20th century - strongly influenced by U.S. President Ronald Reagan - then broadened for girls. Raegan, typically pronounced RAY-gən, gained traction in the United States from the 1990s and peaked in the 2010s. Related forms include Reagan, Regan, Ragan, Raegen, and Raygan; diminutives Rae and Ray are common. Unisex in origin, Raegan skews feminine today.
