Keegan
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Keegan is a surname of Irish origin and derives from Mac Aodhagáin meaning "son (or descendant) of Aodhagán" (a diminutive of the Irish name Aodh).[citation needed] In the late 20th and early 21st centuries Keegan is more commonly being used as a first name. It is listed most often as a boy's name, but has gradually become unisex. Aodhagáin is another form of the name Aodh, meaning "fire".
