Regann is Irish in Origin.

Regann is a modern respelling of Irish-origin Regan/Reagan, from the Gaelic surname Ó Riagáin/Ó Ríogáin, meaning “descendant of Riagán.” The personal name Riagán is commonly analysed as rí “king” + -án diminutive, yielding the popular gloss “little king,” though some scholars connect it with a word for “impetuous.” As a given name, Regan entered English use through Shakespeare’s King Lear, while the Reagan spelling surged in the late 20th century, especially in the United States, influenced by President Ronald Reagan.

Regann retains the surname-to-first-name appeal and works as a unisex choice, though current usage skews feminine. Pronunciations mirror its relatives: REE-gən or RAY-gən. Close variants include Regan, Reagan, Raegan, Ragan, and Reaghan; Irish source forms are Riagán and Ó Riagáin. Short forms like Rae or Reg are occasional. The double-n ending gives a contemporary look without altering the name’s Irish heritage or meaning.
