Reegon is Irish in Origin.

Reegon is a contemporary respelling of Reagan/Regan, a surname of Irish Gaelic origin from Ó Ríagáin or Ó Riagáin, “descendant of Riagán.” The personal name Riagán is usually linked to rí, “king,” plus the diminutive -agán, giving the sense “little king” or “young ruler.” The Regan spelling also appears in Shakespeare’s King Lear, which helped introduce the name to English audiences centuries before it became a first name.

As a given name, it rose in the Anglophone world in the late 20th century, surging in the United States during and after the Reagan presidency, and later trending for girls as a stylish, unisex Irish surname-name. Reegon signals the intended pronunciation REE-gən through the double e, though some may say REE-gon. Common variants include Reagan, Regan, Raegan, Ragan, Reaghan, and O’Regan; related forms: Riagan, Riagán.
