Teigen is a modern coinage that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2000. It likely arose as a feminine or unisex variant of the Welsh name Tegan or Teagan, or it may have been inspired by the surname Teigen, which is of Norwegian origin. The name gained visibility through model and television personality Chrissy Teigen, though its usage predates her prominence. It is primarily an American innovation, used for both girls and boys.
