Meghan

Meaning of Meghan

Meghan began in the green hills of Wales as the pet form of Margaret, and her meaning, “pearl,” still glitters like moonlight on the Caribbean sea. She drifted across the Irish Sea, grabbed that extra h like a souvenir, and salsa-stepped into English-speaking hearts. In the late ’80s and ’90s she shot up the U.S. charts like a firework at a fiesta. Today she keeps a steady glow, helped by Princess Meghan, who swapped Hollywood scripts for royal spotlights. The name feels classic yet fresh, soft yet strong, a pearl in jeans and espadrilles. Say it aloud—MEG-uhn—and hear a little tambourine shake. It is quick, bright, and friendly. Meghan is the girl whose laugh pops like confetti, whose loyalty sits solid as Roman stone, and whose name, though shorter than a mariachi riff, leaves a long, sweet echo in the air.
