Tieghan

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Tieghan: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2001.

Tieghan is a modern spelling variant of the Irish and Scottish Gaelic name Teagan, which derives from the old Irish word *tadhgán*, meaning "little poet" or "attractive". While the name has ancient roots in Celtic mythology—Tadhg was a common name among early Irish kings—Tieghan itself is a contemporary form that gained popularity in Scotland and beyond from the late 20th century onward.
