Meaning & origin
Raegyn is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2000, part of a wave of creative respellings of the surname Reagan. Its popularity peaked in 2015, but it has been falling since then, reflecting a broader shift away from the 'Reagan' style. Despite its recent origin, the name fits a pattern of using Irish-inspired surnames as given names. The spelling with 'ae' and 'yn' gives it a distinctive, feminine feel, and it is almost exclusively used for girls. The name has never ranked in the top 1000, remaining a rare choice.
