Meggan is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Meggan has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Meggan. That means that a girl named Meggan is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Meggan.
Is the name Meggan a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1985, when it ranked #816 with 185 newborn girls receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Meggan 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 Meggan, 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 Meggan was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

You may not know anyone named Meggan, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 28 states are home to women and girls named Meggan. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Meggan living in one state or another. If your name is Meggan and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Iowa, which has the most people named Meggan relative to the population, you still have to ask 28,191 women and girls their names before you hear Meggan as an answer just once.
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 six letters, the name Meggan is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
If your name is Meggan and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
