Eoghan

Eoghan is an ancient Irish name whose precise etymology is debated; it may derive from the Old Irish element eo meaning yew tree, or it may be an early borrowing from the Greek Eugenios, meaning well-born. In Irish mythology and history the name was borne by several legendary kings and warriors, giving it deep roots in Gaelic tradition. It remains a popular name in Ireland today and is sometimes anglicized as Owen or Ewen, with the Scottish Gaelic form Eòghann representing the same name in a related tradition.
