Ragen

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ragen: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2002.

The name Ragen is most often a modern spelling variant of Reagan, which originates from the Irish and Scottish Gaelic surname Ó Riagáin, meaning 'descendant of Riagán'—a personal name likely derived from *riog* meaning 'king', thus 'little king'. While Ronald Reagan, the 40th U.S. president, brought global familiarity to the Reagan form, Ragen itself appears in Scottish birth records as a less common but growing choice, used for both boys and girls. No prominent place bears this exact spelling, though towns like Reagan, Texas, honour the presidential version. As a variant, Raegan is also widespread. In Scotland, the name’s soft sound appeals to parents drawn to Celtic roots without choosing the dominant spelling.
