Reegan is Irish in Origin.
Reegan is a modern respelling of Reagan/Regan, a surname turned given name rooted in the Irish Ó Ríagáin, meaning “descendant of Riagán.” The personal name Riagán is commonly parsed as rí “king” + the diminutive -án, yielding the sense “little king” or “kingly,” though some scholars connect it to Old Irish riag “impetuous, vigorous.” Pronunciation varies: most Anglophones say RAY-gən; the double-e in Reegan often invites REE-gən. Related forms include Reagan, Regan, Raegan, Ragan, and Reaghan; Irish forms appear as Ó Ríagáin and (rarely) Riagán as a given name.
As a given name, the Regan/Reagan family first gained notice in English via Shakespeare’s King Lear (Regan, Lear’s daughter). Broader popularity rose in the late 20th century - especially in the United States - through President Ronald Reagan, after which feminine use increased sharply. Today Reegan is a unisex choice, with nicknames such as Ree, Rea, and Reg.
