Reigan

Boy name · 12 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Reigan: 12 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2004.

Reigan is a modern name with multiple possible origins, most commonly seen as a variant of Reagan, which itself derives from the Irish surname Ó Riagáin, meaning "descendant of Riagán" — a personal name thought to mean "little king" or "impulsive one." It also occasionally appears as a respelling of the Japanese name Reigan, meaning "spirit" or "soul." The name gained prominence through Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, whose surname has since been used as a given name for both boys and girls. There is no major place directly named after a bearer, though Reagan shares its root with the Irish place name Reaghan. In Scotland, Reigan has been a rare but steady choice since the 1990s, often favoured for its modern, unisex feel and its similarity to the more common Reagan.
