Thinking about the name
Keagan
Irish origin
“Likely derived from the Irish surname Keegan, meaning 'small and fiery' or 'descendent of Aodhagán,' Keagan offers a fresh take on a Celtic surname-name. The spelling shifts the emphasis and modernizes the classic Keegan, appealing to parents who want Irish heritage with contemporary flair. It carries warmth without heaviness.”
