Raygan is Irish in Origin.
Raygan is a modern respelling of Reagan, the Anglicized Irish surname Ó Riagáin/Ó Ríogáin. The personal name Riagán is widely analyzed as built on rí, “king,” with the diminutive -án, yielding the sense “little king”; used as a surname it denotes “descendant of Riagán.” While some scholars connect riag with “impetuous,” the regal interpretation is the one most cited in baby-name use.
As a given name, the Reagan family of spellings shifted from Irish surname to unisex first name in the 20th century, spiking in the United States after President Ronald Reagan brought it to public attention in the 1980s. Raygan tailors the pronunciation with English ray-, and sits alongside variants such as Reagan, Raegan, Regan, Ragan, and Reaghan. Despite the visual echo of Ray, it does not change the Irish meaning.
