Reigane is Irish in Origin.

Reigane blends modern flair with Gaelic roots. As a contemporary respelling of Reagan/Regan, it traces to the Irish surname Ó Riagáin, from the personal name Riagán, often interpreted as “little king” (from rí “king” + diminutive -án) or as “impetuous.” Used as a given name in the English-speaking world since the mid-20th century, it was boosted by the surname-to-first-name wave and, indirectly, by U.S. President Ronald Reagan; literary awareness also comes via Shakespeare’s Regan in King Lear. Today Reigane is rare and skews feminine, though the base name is unisex.

Variants and cousins include Reagan, Regan, Raegan, Ragan, and Raygan; related royal-root names are Regina, Régine, Reine, and Reina. Possible nicknames are Rae, Rei, and Reggie. Pronunciation is typically RAY-gən or RAY-gain, depending on family preference.
