What Does the Name Tieghan Mean?
Tieghan is an English spelling variant of Teagan, a name with two commonly given explanations. In one, it is a Welsh name derived from teg, meaning fair or beautiful, with an ending often described as a diminutive; the literal sense is something like little fair one. In the other, it is an anglicized form of Irish Tadhgán, a diminutive of the old Irish personal name Tadhg, meaning poet or philosopher, so little poet. The spelling Tieghan belongs to English-language usage rather than standard Welsh, and it is uncertain which of the two derivations lies behind it.
