Teagan

Teagan carries the green hills of Ireland in its consonants, an anglicized form of Tadhgan, a diminutive of Tadhg, meaning poet or philosopher. Once firmly a boy's name in its homeland, it crossed the Atlantic and slid easily onto girls' birth certificates in the 2000s, now comfortably unisex in American usage. The soft T opens into a long A, the G grounding it before the final N, a name that feels both Celtic and contemporary. It suits a child with a quick wit and quieter edges, the kind who observes before joining in. Teagan reads modern without straining, a name that listens well.
