Maegan
ma(e)-gan
US Popularity:21391
Origin:Welsh
Meaning:Pearl
Starting out as the demure Meg, Maegan has grown into a most treasured feminine name. With Welsh and English origins, Maegan is related to Margaret, a title that stems from the Ancient Greek margarítēs, meaning "pearl." Yet pearls are far more than pretty adornments, their symbols changing from shore to shore. For some, the pearl is the personification of the journey to perfection; to others, it represents wisdom or even the tears of the gods. In truth, this organic gem is the product of self-protection in a marine environment—instilling Maegan with as much brawn as beauty and brains.
