Raegan

Raegan is a spelling of Reagan, an English form associated with the Irish surname Ó Ríagáin. The older personal name Ríagán is commonly connected with rí, “king,” and a diminutive ending. “Little king” therefore describes the underlying name rather than translating every part of the surname. Raegan carries that inherited connection through a newer spelling.

The ae sequence makes Rae an especially visible nickname option. Reagan and Regan are useful comparisons, although Regan can invite a different first-vowel pronunciation. Families considering the name may also recognize the presidential surname Reagan; that is a cultural reference, not a requirement that the name express a political preference or royal ambition.
