Meaning of Meaghan
Meaghan lands like a warm Mediterranean breeze—an inspired twist on the classic Megan with Celtic roots and a sparkle that harks back to the Greek “margarites” (pearl) via Latin margarita. Pronounced MAY-guhn in English and MEE-an in Irish, it first danced onto U.S. charts in the 1970s, soared to around No. 308 in the mid-’80s, and today sits near 943—perfect for parents who crave something familiar yet refreshingly rare. Full of spirited charm, Meaghan glides off the tongue with playful ease, echoing the fiery rhythms of a flamenco paso doble. It summons images of sunlit coves and emerald hills, a name rooted in heritage yet alight with possibility. Every Meaghan arrives ready to write her own story, destined to shine bright and unique in her world.
