Meaning, origin, history
Reagan is a name of Irish origin, derived from the Irish surname Ó Raghallaigh. The name means "little king" or "kingly descendant," which reflects its noble origins. It is believed to have been first used as a given name in the United States during the mid-20th century, possibly influenced by the popularity of President Ronald Reagan, who served two terms from 1981 to 1989. However, it is important to note that President Reagan's surname was actually of Scottish origin and did not share the same meaning or etymology as the Irish name Reagan. Despite this, the name has gained popularity in recent years and is now often associated with the former U.S. president.
