Endowed with youthful vigor, Egan is an Irish masculine name that embraces the very essence of eagerness. Egan stems from the old Gaelic clan name Ó hAodhagáin and means "descendant of Aodhagán,” “fire," or “son of fire.” These are translations that celebrate passion and drive, as they all derive from the Gaelic word aodh or áed, meaning “fire.” Mac Aodhagáin was also the name of a clan of brehons or judges who upheld the law in ancient Ireland. This legacy could inspire little Egan to follow their passion and pursue their dream career.
