reagen is Irish in Origin.
Reagen is a modern respelling of the Irish surname-turned-given-name Reagan/Regan, from Gaelic Ó Riagáin/Ó Ríogáin, "descendant of Riagán." Riagán likely derives from rí, "king," plus the diminutive -án, yielding "little king" or "young ruler"; some link it to a root for "impetuous" or "fiery." Reagen is typically pronounced RAY-gen, though REE-gen is also heard.
As a given name, it followed the rise of surnames in English-speaking countries, gaining wide notice via U.S. President Ronald Reagan and later trending for girls. Regan appears as a character in Shakespeare’s King Lear, anchoring the name in earlier English literature. The Reagen spelling is uncommon but suits modern, distinctive-vowel tastes while preserving an Irish feel. Variants include Reagan, Regan, Raegan, Ragan, Reaghan, Raygan, and Reegan; usage is unisex, now leaning feminine in North America.
