📖 About Meagan
Meagan is an alternate spelling of Megan, the Welsh diminutive of Margaret, from Greek "margarites" meaning pearl. The distinctive -ea- vowel cluster reflects Irish-American orthographic conventions, making Meagan feel more Celtic and phonetically expressive than the standard spelling. Pearl symbolism — purity, wisdom earned through experience, feminine grace — underlies all the Megan variants. Meagan is particularly prevalent in Irish-American communities in the US, Canada, and Australia. Notable bearers include actress Meagan Good, two-time World Champion figure skater Meagan Duhamel, and "Anne of Green Gables" star Meagan Follows.
