Teigen is a modern name of Norwegian origin, derived from the Old Norse word *teigr*, meaning ‘strip of land’ or ‘small farmstead’, so it originally referred to someone who lived on or worked a patch of cultivated ground. It gained international attention through American model and television personality Chrissy Teigen, whose surname brought the name into the spotlight as a given name for both boys and girls. While not linked to any major places named after a bearer, the *teigr* root appears in several Norwegian farm names and surnames. In Scotland, Teigen has been a rare but steadily present choice since the early 2000s, often seen as a fresh, unisex alternative to names like Reagan or Tegan.
