📖 About Meghan
Meghan is a variant of Megan, the Welsh diminutive of Margaret, from Greek "margarites" meaning pearl. The silent -gh- cluster gives the spelling a visual depth borrowed from Irish-English orthography. The pearl symbolism — purity, feminine wisdom, sacred value (the "pearl of great price" in Matthew's Gospel) — runs through all Megan variants. Meghan entered the global consciousness powerfully in 2018 when American actress Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, becoming the Duchess of Sussex. Also notable are Grammy-winning singer Meghan Trainor ("All About That Bass") and TV personality Meghan McCain.
