Thinking about the name
Megan
Welsh origin
“Derived from the Welsh name Meghan, meaning 'pearl' or sometimes 'strong' or 'capable,' Megan became a dominant name in the late 20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries. The name balances femininity with strength, and its popularity soared after the 1980s. It remains one of the most recognizable names for girls born in the 1990s-2000s.”
