Raegan

Raegan is a variant spelling of Reagan, which comes from an Irish surname, an anglicized form of Ó Riagáin, meaning "descendant of Riagán." The meaning of Riagán itself is uncertain. It is often linked to the Irish word rí, "king," but this is not established.

The name shares its sound with the surname of Ronald Reagan, the 40th U.S. president. A well-known bearer of this spelling is Raegan Pebley, a former basketball player and coach who is now general manager of the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks.

In the U.S., Raegan was given only occasionally until the 1990s. It then climbed for most of the next three decades, reaching its peak in 2019 at 219th, with 1,406 babies. It has fallen each year since, and in 2025 it ranked 505th with 589 babies.
