as a First Name
Transferred use of the Irish surname Re(a)gan (Gaelic Ó Riagáin ‘descendant of Riagán’), no doubt chosen in the United States in honour of American president Ronald Reagan (1911–2004). As a girl's name it may also be a respelling of the Shakespearean name Regan, influenced by the surname.
