Meaning & origin
Reagyn is a modern respelling of the Irish surname Reagan, first recorded as a given name in 2001. It peaked in popularity in 2014, but has been declining in use since that year. The name has not achieved widespread popularity and has never appeared in the national top 1000 rankings. The base name Reagan, however, has been a well-known surname-as-first-name for girls, boosted by associations with the 40th U.S. president. Reagyn is rarely used and has not been reported as a top choice in any state. The name appeals to parents who favor the sound of Reagan but want a more distinctive spelling.
Reagyn is a modern respelling of the Irish surname Reagan, which is derived from the Gaelic Ó Riagáin, meaning 'descendant of Riagán'. The personal name Riagán may mean 'little king' (from rí 'king') or 'impulsive' (from riag 'to torment'). The surname was borne by the 40th U.S. president, Ronald Reagan, and in recent decades the name has been adopted as a given name for girls, often with creative spellings like Reagyn.
