History & Origin
Megann is a spelling variant of Megan, the Welsh short form of Margaret β ultimately the Greek 'margaron', 'pearl'. Doubling the final consonant was a late-century way to personalize an extremely popular name.
It rode Megan's peak years without ever becoming common in its own right, cresting around 1988 and fading with the parent name. A Megann today is likely a Millennial, and the standard Megan vastly outnumbers this spelling.
