History & Origin

Keagon is a variant spelling of Keegan that appeared as Irish surname names grew fashionable for American boys in the 1990s and 2000s. Keegan comes from the Gaelic Mac Aodhagain, descendant of Aodhagan, a pet form of Aodh, a name associated with fire. Respellings like Keagon and Keagan gave parents a fresh look on a rising favorite. This spelling shows up in United States records from the mid-1990s.

It stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its high, so a boy spelled Keagon then would be in his late teens today. It is best read as a spelling variant rather than a separate name, and the standard Keegan remained far more common.

Did you know? Aodh, buried inside Keegan and so inside Keagon, was the name of an old Irish fire deity, giving this modern surname name a spark of ancient meaning.
