Tegann is Irish in Origin.

Tegann is a modern variant of Tegan/Teagan with Welsh and Irish roots. Welsh teg means 'fair, pretty' plus the affectionate suffix -an, giving 'little fair one.' The Irish-Gaelic stream comes via the surname Ó Tadhgáin, 'descendant of Tadhgán,' a diminutive of Tadhg ('poet, bard'), yielding the sense 'little poet.' Unisex in theory, it is now used mostly for girls in English-speaking countries.

As a given name, Tegan spread from the late 20th century beyond Wales, especially in Australia, the UK, and North America, helped by Doctor Who's Tegan and the duo Tegan and Sara. Tegann's doubled -nn is a recent ornamental spelling in the same family and does not change pronunciation. Variants include Tegan, Teagan, Teegan, Teigan, and Teaghan; related Welsh names built on teg include Tegwen. Nicknames include Teg and Tee. Across its roots the name carries twin senses: 'fair/beautiful' (Welsh) and 'little poet' from the Gaelic line.
