Reagan

Insights

Today, Reagan is a popular, familiar name (popularity 84/100).

It is less common today than at its historical peak.

The name Reagan originates from the Irish surname Ó Ríagáin, which means 'descendant of Ríagán.' Ríagán itself is derived from the Old Irish word 'rí,' meaning 'king,' combined with the diminutive suffix '-án,' translating to 'little king.' Historically, the name was associated with Irish royalty and nobility. In modern times, Reagan has become a popular given name for both boys and girls, particularly in the United States, likely influenced by the prominence of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Its unisex appeal and strong, regal connotations contribute to its widespread usage.
