History & Origin
Meygan respells Megan, the Welsh diminutive of Margaret, from the Greek margarites, pearl. The ey spelling is a personalized late-century twist on a name then near its own peak; it stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 2003.
A girl named Meygan from the early two-thousands is a young adult now. It reflects a family updating the popular Megan with a distinctive spelling rather than reviving anything, and Megan and Meghan remain the standard forms.
