Teagan

Teagan is commonly connected with an Irish diminutive related to Tadhg, a name associated with a poet. “Little poet” expresses that proposed relationship. It should be distinguished from Welsh Tegan, which has a separate interpretation involving fairness or beauty, even though modern spellings can overlap.

Teaghan is another form families may encounter. Teagan is used for boys and girls, and a family’s heritage may guide which spelling feels appropriate. The similar sound of Tegan does not require the two older origins to be merged. Choosing the intended Irish or Welsh connection first helps make the meaning more precise.
