What Does the Name Raegen Mean?
Raegen is an English spelling variant of the Irish surname-derived name Reagan. The surname is an anglicized form of Irish Ó Riagáin, a patronymic meaning "descendant of Riagán." Riagán is an Irish personal name commonly explained as a diminutive of rí "king," which gives the familiar sense "little king." That derivation is traditional rather than fully certain; some treatments of the name leave the origin of Riagán less settled. The spelling Raegen does not add a separate meaning.
Raegen Name History & Origins
The name Raegen belongs to the English-language use of the Irish surname Ó Riagáin. In Ireland the surname was anglicized in several forms, including O'Regan, Regan, and Reagan. The Reagan spelling is the form widely known in the United States, and from the surname it also came into use as a given name. Raegen is a spelling variant of that given name: it uses ae for the vowel of Reagan and -en for the final syllable. It is not a separate Gaelic name, and the altered spelling does not change the pronunciation or the underlying etymology. Other spellings include Raegan and Raegyn; Regan is another anglicized form of the same Irish surname.
