Keegan (given name)

Keegan is a given name of Irish origin. It is derived from the Irish surname Ó hAogáin, meaning "descendant of Aodhagán." Aodhagán is a diminutive of the name Aodh, which means "fire" or "ardent." Therefore, Keegan can be interpreted to mean "descendant of little fire" or "descendant of ardent one."

The name is primarily used as a masculine name, though in more recent times it has occasionally been used as a feminine name. It is most common in Ireland, the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Variants of the name include Kegan and Keagan. The name's popularity has fluctuated over time, but it generally remains a relatively uncommon but recognizable given name.
