Meaning of the name מייגן

Megan is an international feminine name that spread throughout the Western world in the 20th century, though its roots are ancient and fascinating. The name is an English variation of the Welsh name Megan, which is a diminutive form of Margaret. In Welsh culture, the name is considered an affectionate form of Margaret, which corresponds to the name Pearl in Hebrew. The transition of the name Megan into Hebrew and Israeli culture occurred primarily in the 1990s and 2000s, when Israeli families began adopting international names that sound modern and Western, yet are also easy to pronounce in Hebrew. The original meaning of the name Megan derives from the Greek name Margarites, meaning "pearl." The pearl is an ancient symbol of purity, beauty, and rarity, and is considered one of nature's most beautiful and precious treasures. In many cultures around the world, the pearl symbolizes wisdom acquired through experience, as it is formed inside the oyster as a response to external irritation, and similarly, a person develops and matures through life's challenges. The name Megan carries all these meanings - inner beauty, true value that doesn't depend on externals, and inner strength built through perseverance. In modern Israeli culture, Megan has become a particularly popular name among families seeking a name that balances tradition with modernity.
