Meaning & origin
Meggin is an uncommon variant spelling of the popular name Megan. First recorded in 1954, it saw modest use during the 1970s, with its peak year in 1975. Since then, its trajectory has been stable but consistently low, reflecting the enduring appeal of the Megan sound but with a distinctive spelling. The name never entered the top 1,000 for any year in the United States. While it has not been concentrated in any particular states, its rarity means bearers often enjoy a unique name that remains recognizable from its more common form.
Meggin is a variant spelling of Megan, the Welsh diminutive of Margaret. Margaret derives from the Greek margarites, meaning 'pearl'. The name has been used in English-speaking countries since the Middle Ages, though the Meggin spelling emerged in the mid-20th century as a modern, streamlined variation.
