teagen is Irish in Origin.

Teagen is a modern respelling of Teagan, a given name and surname with dual Celtic roots. In Irish Gaelic it comes from Ó Tadhgáin, “descendant of Tadhgán,” a diminutive of Tadhg meaning “poet, bard,” yielding the sense “little poet.” In Welsh, the closely related Tegan derives from teg, “fair, lovely,” also used as a pet term meaning “darling” or “toy.” Pronounced TEE-guhn, Teagen carries both the artistic and the pretty/pleasant connotations depending on which stream one follows.

As a first name, Teagen emerged strongly in the late 20th century across the United States, Canada, and Australia, fitting the style of Irish surnames turned given names. It is widely used for all genders, though it trends feminine in recent statistics. Common variants include Teagan, Tegan, Teegan, Teaghan, Tiegan, and Teighan; cognates relate back to Irish Tadhg and Welsh Tegan.
