Meaghan is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Meaghan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Meaghan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Meaghan by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Meaghan ranks at #7,069. That means there are 7,068 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Meaghan.
Is the name Meaghan a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1986, when it ranked #316 with 744 newborn girls receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Meaghan is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their daughter this unusual name. So, if your name is Meaghan, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Meaghan was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 8.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A and S are more common for girls' names.
With seven letters, the name Meaghan has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all girls' names start with an M, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the girls’ names starting with M is Mary.
