History & Origin

Reegan spells Regan or Reagan with a double e to lock in the long-e sound. The name comes from the Irish O Riagain, 'descendant of Riagan,' commonly glossed 'little king.' Its move onto girls followed the wider fashion for tailored Irish surnames as first names.

It appeared mostly from the nineteen-nineties and peaked around 2009 as Reagan climbed the girls' charts. A Reegan is a young person today; unlike its vintage batch-mates, this one belongs to the current surname-name trend rather than an old-fashioned revival.

Did you know? Reegan crested around 2009, riding the modern surge of Irish surname-names like Reagan and Teagan into use for girls.
