History & Origin
Meagon is a respelling of Megan, the Welsh diminutive of Margaret, from Greek for 'pearl.' Megan and Meagan were hugely popular in America through the 1980s and 1990s, and offbeat spellings like Meagon appeared alongside them. This version shows up from around 1975, reaching a modest high in the mid-1980s. It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak.
A girl named Meagon from that stretch would be in her forties now, a contemporary of countless girls named Megan and Meagan. The spelling never took hold and reads today as an of-its-moment variation on a name that was everywhere in its era.
