Megan

Megan is a Welsh feminine name that developed as a diminutive of Meg, itself a medieval pet form of Margaret. Margaret derives ultimately from the Greek margarites, meaning pearl, which was borrowed into Latin as Margarita. The name has been widely used in Wales for centuries and spread throughout the English-speaking world during the twentieth century. Variant forms include Meghan, Meagan, and Meaghan, the latter two influenced by Irish spelling conventions.
