Reyganah is Arabic, Persian in Origin.
Reyganah is a contemporary elaboration of the Irish surname-based given name Reagan/Regan, ultimately from the Gaelic O Riagain ("descendant of Riagan"). The personal name Riagan is commonly analyzed as ri ("king") plus the diminutive -an, yielding the sense "little king" or "king's child." As a given name, Regan appears in Shakespeare's King Lear; the spelling Reagan expanded widely in the United States, especially from the 1980s, and is now used for all genders.
This embellished form substitutes Rey- (evoking Spanish rey, "king") and adds the ornamental -ah ending familiar from Hebrew and Arabic names, without altering the core meaning. Variant spellings and cognates include Reagan, Regan, Raegan, Ragan, Reaghan, Raygan, Reygan, and Reagen; related surnames O'Regan and O'Reagan reflect the same root. Reyganah remains very rare and modern, tending feminine in use, while preserving the regal, lively meaning inherited from its Irish lineage.
Reyganah turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. Such a name is generally either rare, regional or traditional, or a brand-new coinage. Either way, it's a name very few children share.
