History & Origin
Meganne is an ornamented spelling of Megan, the Welsh pet form of Margaret, which comes from the Greek margarites, meaning pearl. The -anne ending can also read as a nod to Anne, giving a Megan-and-Anne feel. Megan was hugely popular through the later twentieth century, and elaborated spellings like Meganne appear in United States records in the nineteen-nineties.
It stayed rare in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high, so a Meganne from then would be in her thirties today. The plain Megan remains far more familiar, but Meganne keeps the same pearl meaning with a softer look.
