Keegan

Keegan stems from the ancient Irish surname Ó Caocháin, meaning 'descendant of Caochán.' Caochán itself is a diminutive of 'caoch,' which, in older Irish, could mean 'blind' or 'dim-sighted,' but also 'ardent' or 'fiery,' suggesting a spirited ancestor. This clan name traveled through centuries, first as a surname, then gaining popularity as a masculine given name from the mid-20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries.

When you say 'Keegan,' you'll feel a vibrant energy, a lively spirit in its two crisp syllables. This is a name for a child you sense will possess a passionate heart, full of curiosity and a determined spark. You'll imagine your son, a Keegan, approaching every adventure with enthusiasm, his spirit bright and unyielding, a small flame destined to burn brilliantly.
