History & Origin

Meghin is a spelling variant of Megan, which began as a Welsh pet form of Margaret. Margaret itself comes from the Greek margarites, 'pearl', so Meghin carries the pearl meaning through its parent, dressed in an unusual spelling.

It was one of the scarcer Megan spellings, seen only briefly around 1990 next to the far more common Megan and Meghan. It reads as a period respelling rather than a distinct name.

Did you know? Meghin is a rare respelling of Megan from the name's popular years; it flickered through the late nineteen-eighties and nineties with a tiny peak around 1990.
