Taegan is a modern, unisex given name of Irish origin. It is derived from the Irish surname Ó Teagagán, which itself comes from the ancient personal name Teagán. The meaning attributed to Taegan is "little choirmaster" or "poet." This name has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique sound and spelling, while still being easy to pronounce. It has been more commonly used as a female name in English-speaking countries, though it can be given to individuals of either gender.
"Taegan saw its peak popularity in the late 2000s to early 2010s, with over 80 births per year between 2007 and 2010. However, its usage has steadily declined since then, with only 14 births recorded in 2023."
