MEGAN
Megan is a Welsh feminine given name, originally a diminutive form of Margaret. Margaret is from the Greek μαργαρίτης (margarítēs), Latin margarīta, "pearl". Megan is one of the most popular Welsh-language names for women in Wales and England, and is commonly truncated to Meg.
Megan was one of the most popular feminine names in the English-speaking world in the 1990s, peaking in 1990 in the United States and 1999 in the United Kingdom. Approximately 54% of people named Megan born in the US were born in 1990 or later. The name is also frequently spelt Meagan, Meaghan, Meghan, or Mehgan outside of Wales and the rest of the United Kingdom due to spelling influence from Irish-language names.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (born Rachel Meghan Markle in 1981), an American former actress and member of the British Royal Family, is one of the highest-profile people with the name.
