Pegan is a unique and distinctive given name of Irish origin. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Pegeen," which itself evolved from the medieval name "Margaret." Pegan means "pearl" in Gaelic, reflecting its meaning of "precious stone." This name was popularized by William Butler Yeats' play "The Colleen Bawn," where the main character's nickname is Pegan. Today, it is still a rare and interesting choice for parents seeking a distinctive name with a touch of Irish charm.
Pegan is quite uncommon, with only two girls named Pegan born over a span of four years.
