History & Origin
Raegyn is a twenty-first-century respelling of Reagan, the Irish surname from Ó Riagáin ('descendant of Riagán', a name connected to 'little king'). Families reaching for a fresh, feminine look reworked the familiar Reagan into Raegyn, Raygen, and similar forms.
It appeared in the American record only in the 2000s and never spread widely — only a few dozen girls a year carried this exact spelling even at its high point around 2015. It rides the broader surname-name and creative-respelling trends rather than any tradition of its own.
